    Caravaggio () executed around a forerunner of genre painting, The Bonaventure. Painted for Alessandro Vittrice and now in the Musée du Louvre (Paris), it depicts two half-length figures in an indeterminate location. There is no indication of where the action is taking place, the scene being illuminated only by a light from the left that falls on the figures: a young man of distinguished appearance wearing a feathered hat and a gypsy woman, recognisable as such by her coppery skin, turban knotted under her chin, black hair and cape draped over one of her shoulders, as well as by the fact that she is engaged in the activity that gives the painting its title. Good fortune was a widespread practice in royal courts during the 16th and 17th centuries and was often complemented by astrology, which had been in vogue along with horoscopes since the late Middle Ages.

    Baroque painting is the painting associated with the Baroquecultural movement. The movement is often identified with Absolutism, the Counter Reformation and Catholic Revival,[1][2] but the existence of important Baroque art and architecture in non-absolutist and Protestant states throughout Western Europe underscores its widespread popularity.[3]
