Famous Paintings 54 Playing Cards | World's Art | Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Paul Gauguin, Klimt, Vincent Van Gogh | Mona Lisa, Starry Night, Madonna, The Scream | Poker Size Standard

I love the variety of paintings featured in it. Each card is different and that makes it unique. This is a deck that is special to me.

I like the cards- famous paintings but the cards seem a little bit smaller than standard - that is ok. I wish there was information about the artist and the name of the pairing on the cards.

These are perfect for a college class I teach. Even though I am working with 18-20-year-olds, the pictures are big, and the descriptions are brief yet include enough detail for my students to reflect on for an in-class assignment.

This is a great set of cards with a nice selection of paintings. My only gripe is that the selection could be improved. About 1/3 are unassailable choices, 1/3 are solid picks and the other 1/3 are questionable, leaving out a number of other works of art that should have been included. Below is the list of artworks in the set (which is also shown in one of the listing's pictures), divided into what I consider the three groups listed above. Afterwards is my list of art that I think should have been included in place of the last group of 18. The set is focused on Western art up through Van Gogh so I kept it the same. This leaves off lots of more modern and non-western art, but that could be made part of another set.Q ♠ - Mona Lisa – Leonardo Da Vinci (1506)10♦ - Starry Night – Vincent Van Gogh (1889)10 ♥ - The Scream – Edvard Munch (1893)4♣ - The Last Supper – Leonardo Da Vinci (1498)10 ♣ - Whistler’s Mother – James Abbott McNeil Whistler (1871)Q ♥ - Girl With A Pearl Earring – Johannes Vermeer (1665)K♦ - Van Gogh Self-Portrait (1889) – Vincent Van Gogh (1889)Q ♣ - Adele Bloch-Bauer I – Gustav Klimt (1907)Joker - The Garden Of Earthly Delights – Heironymous Bosch (1510)Joker - The Garden Of Earthly Delights – Heironymous Bosch (1510)8 ♥ – Luncheon On The Grass – Eduard Manet8 ♣ – A Sunday Afternoon On The Island Of La Granda Jatte – Georges Seurat9 ♥ – Liberty Leading The People – Eugene Delacroix2♦ – The Arnolfini Portrait – Jan Van Eyck (1434)A♦ – The Birth Of Venus – Sandro Botticelli (1486)J ♥ – The Night Watch – Rembrandt (1642)8♦ – Luncheon Of The Boating Party – Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1881)2 ♥ - Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette – Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1876)3 ♠ – Impression, Sunrise – Claude Monet (1872)4 ♥ – The Great Wave Off Kanegawa – Hokusai (1831)2 ♠ – Vertumnus – Guiseppe Arcimboldo (1590)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4 ♠ – Three Beauties Of The Present Day – Kitagawa Utamaro (1793)9 ♠ – The Third Of May 1808 – Francisco Goya (1814)7♦ – The Nude Maja – Francisco Goya (1800)8 ♠ – The Bathers – Paul Cezanne (1906)9♦ – The Raft Of Medusa – Theodore Gericault9 ♣ - The Storm On The Sea Of Galilee – Rembrandt (1633)2 ♣ – The Goldfinch – Carel Fabritius (1654)K ♣ – Portrait Of Michaelangelo – Daniele Da Volterra (1545)K ♥ – Self Portrait With Beret And Turned-up Collar – Rembrandt (1659)10 ♠ – Portrait Of The Artist’s Wife – Amadeo Modigliani (1918)7 ♥ – Nu-Couche – Amadeo Modigliani (1918)7 ♣ – Lady With Ermine – Leonardo Da Vinci (1491)3 ♣ –View Of Delft – Johannes Vermeer (1661)6 ♠ – Madonna With The Long Neck – Parmigianino (1540)3 ♥ – Vista De Toledo – El Greco (1600)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3♦ – Boating On The Sienne – Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1879)Q♦ – Portrait of Jeanne Samary – Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1877)5♦ – The Last Supper - Hans Holbein The Younger (1527)5 ♠ – Last Supper – Vinvente Juan Masip (1562)5 ♥ – Last Supper – Tintoretto (1594)6♦ - Aldobrandini Madonna – Raphael (1510)A ♣ – Sistine Madonna – Raphael (1514)6 ♣ – Small Cowper Madonna – Raphael (1505)A ♠ – Madonna Litta – Leonardo Da Vinci (1490)6 ♥ – Madonna and Child and Two Angels – Sandro Botticelli (1470)K ♠ – Self-Portrait – Raphael (1506)4♦ – Court Ladies In The Shu Palace – Tang Yin (????)4 ♣ – The Night Revels Of Han Xizai – Gu Hongzhong (????)J♦ – Self-Portrait – Peter Paul Rubens (1623)7 ♠ - Italian Midday (Italian Girl Picking Grapes) - Karl Bryullov (1827)J ♠ - Boy with a Basket of Fruit – Caravaggio (1593)J ♣ - Guardroom Interior - Pieter Symonsz Potter (1600)A ♥ - Adam and Eve - Jan Gossaert (1532)The last section contained too many Madonna's with child and versions of the Last Supper, and though I love Renoir I think four of his works is too many and the honor for most cards should go to Van Gogh. Here is what I would add instead:The Kiss - KlimtOlympia - ManetWoman With Parasol - MonetA Bar at the Folies-Bergère - ManetThe Boatmen Of The Volga - Ilya RepinThe Gleaners - Jean - Francois MilletThe Fighting Temeraire - JMW TurnerThe Hay Wain - John ConstableThe Wanderer Above The Sea Of Fog - Caspar David FriedrichCard Players - CezanneIsle Of The Dead - Arnold BöcklinLas Menines - Diego VelázquezNapoleon Crossing the Alps - Jacques-Louis DavidThe Swing - Jean-Honoré FragonardThe Bedroom At Arles - Van GoghPotato Eaters - Van GoghThe Church At Auvers - Van GoghSelf Potrait With Bandaged Ear - Van GoghAll in all though I am quite happy with the set!

These are fun! Was a bit disappointed the numbers were hard to see/read on some of the cards, so not the best set to play games with. Loved the art though.

These are very nicely done prints of 54 different famous paintings. I am intending to use them for educational purposes and am very pleased with the quality and colors. My only caveat would be, they aren't plastic coated, so if you're planning to use them as playing card, they may wear out eventually.
