Whether playing Bridge or Go Fish, The Metropolitan Museum of Art's playing cards make for a beautiful hand. The heavy weight bridge sized cards are brilliantly printed and come stylishly packaged as a set of two in a keepsake box. Bridge cards are just like any other deck of cards except that they are a little bit narrower. Bridge cards are not only used to play the game of bridge, but also poker and other popular card games. The smaller size makes it easier to shuffle and deal, especially when players with smaller hands sit at the bridge table. Now you can easily have works of art as part of your everyday life. Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853 1890) pursued various vocations before deciding to become an artist at the age of twenty seven. Over the course of his decade long career (1880 1890), he produced nearly 900 paintings and more than 1,100 works on paper. The images reproduced on these playing cards are details from two works by Van Gogh.
