Tired of art snobs and their stuffy old museums? So was Steve Melcher, so he created That Is Priceless -- dedicated to taking art’s greatest masterpieces down a peg with irreverent new titles. You don’t have to be an art lover to appreciate Steve’s sticking it to the man on a regular basis – especially when that man is someone like Caravaggio, who when you look a little closer, was really kind of a jerk.

I think the maid is wise to his cheating.

Oh… cards, cheating at cards.
At first glance, I thought, yessiree, that’s the face of a woman scorned.

I think the individual on the right is heading for gender reassignment.

Click-to-enlarge image can be found here (image there points to 3 detail image pages) or here. Smaller enlargement can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry.
The Cheat with the Ace of Diamonds is shown, with different coloration framed and unframed images, as well as 3 detail images, and described by its current-location here and here.
They both currently say it is in Room 24, but it is shown at the start of the Virtual tour for Room 28 (AKA the Georges de La Tour Room). Corrections may be forthcoming. More click-to-enlarge detail images can be found here.
Apart from size and coloration differences, an almost identical painting (click-to-humongous image compliments of its Google Art Project page) can be found here. From looking at just the image links, not knowing the titles, can you spot the difference(s)?
This painting is also described here, along with a different coloration, click-to-enlarge image; but many different coloration and detail images are available online. The artist‘s Wikipedia page (Google translated French Wikipedia page has more) and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).
Third, of the 4 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here.
