It's cash-in time for the owner of TheCardPlayers.com
According to an ancient Greek quote by Hippocrates, life is short and art is long, or “Ars longa, vita brevis” in its Latin version.
Art comes in many formats, one of which is painting.
One painting, in particular more than reaffirms the fact that investing in art can be extremely rewarding.
Just recently, a painting by post-impressionist Paul Cézanne was sold to the oil-rich nation of Qatar for a staggering $250 million dollars.
The painting, “The Card Players“, is the only one out of five paintings of the same theme that did not belong to a museum. It was acquired from the estate of a deceased Greek shipping tycoon.
Meanwhile, the owner of TheCardPlayers.com must be considering this to be his cash-in day.
The irony of it all must be that the domain was registered to be a gambling or poker web site of sorts but it’s under perpetual “under construction”.
