The House of Cards

Artist: Jean Siméon Chardin (French, 1699 - 1779

Date: c. 1737

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States

Shown from about the lap up, a young person with brown hair and a peachy complexion faces our left in profile as he leans onto a table and sets folded playing cards up in a row in this vertical painting. Shown against a dark background, his long, brown hair curls by his ears and is pulled back with a navy-blue ribbon at the nape of his neck. He has a delicately sloping nose, his pink lips are closed, the cheek facing us is flushed, and he looks down at the tabletop under lowered lids. He wears a chestnut-brown, long-sleeved coat with a dark blue sash across his chest and tied around his waist. The white of his undershirt peeks out at the high neck and wrists, and the brick-red lining of the sleeve of his jacket rolls back at his right wrist. The wooden table is lined with teal-blue fabric on its surface, and three coins lie near his left hand, closer to us. In that hand he holds three nested, vertically folded playing cards. With his right hand he places the last in a line of ten cards, standing vertically but close together like dominoes, in a curving row in front of him. Scarlet-red diamonds and hearts and the edges of some black shapes are visible within the bent cards. A jack of hearts and a piece of paper or the back of another card sit in a drawer that opens toward us along the side of the table. The artist signed the work in dark brown paint in the lower right corner: “J. Chardin.”

gregg_cat Hi guys when I’m not playing FPL i play a card game called Shithead I wouldn’t say I’m the best at it but I’m quite good sometimes it’s hard not to reveal my cards because I can’t hold them in my paws which means other players can guess what my next move will be which usually means I lose but I just enjoy playing and the table feels really nice against my fur anyway I’ve actually never won a game and I do wonder sometimes what it would feel like but like i said I just enjoy being a part of the game really

Your Fave Is Catholic: Gambit (real name: Remy LeBeau)

Known for: One of the many superheroes from the superhero team of Marvel comics the X-Men, he is a mutant originally from New Orleans with the mutant powers of molecular acceleration, accelerating regeneration, vibration emission, & many more related powers. He is best known for his thick Cajun accent & for manifesting his mutant powers through playing cards that he throws at his enemies & they explode at his command. He is also a master martial artist & often performs combat using sticks as well as cards. He is a skilled member of the X-Men & is a valued team member, & has been in romantic relationships with her fellow X-Men member Rogue. He was also greatly featured in the popular X-Men cartoon of the 1990s, which helped further establish his popularity.

Evidence of Faith: It has been stated in the X-Men comics that Gambit is indeed Catholic, which is understandable thanks to his New Orleans background. An article about Catholic superheroes from NCRegister.com also discusses Gambit’s Catholicism, explaining how in one storyline he rescued the Cross of Redemption from gangsters & returned it to its proper place in Vatican City, & has also on occasion played cards with clergy members, which includes (to quote the article itself): “... an archbishop, a canon lawyer, and two deacons.”
