"Soldiers Gambling" is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Bartolomeo Manfredi (1582–1622), who was active during the early 17th century and known for his realistic depictions of everyday scenes. The painting is a prime example of Caravaggism, a style of painting inspired by the revolutionary artist Caravaggio, characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as a focus on naturalism and the depiction of figures from the lower strata of society.

The artwork portrays a group of soldiers engaged in a game of chance, a common pastime that was often associated with vice and moral corruption during the period. Manfredi's composition captures the intensity of the moment, with figures huddled closely together, their expressions and body language reflecting the tension and excitement of the gamble. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, highlights the psychological drama unfolding among the players and creates a vivid sense of three-dimensionality.

While the exact date of "Soldiers Gambling" is not known, it is believed to have been painted in the early 17th century, during Manfredi's mature period when he had fully absorbed Caravaggio's influence and was developing his own interpretation of the master's themes and techniques. The painting is significant for its influence on other artists of the time, particularly in Northern Europe, where Manfredi's works were widely disseminated through the efforts of traveling artists and collectors.

As with many of Manfredi's paintings, the provenance of "Soldiers Gambling" may be difficult to trace due to the lack of comprehensive records and the artist's own relatively obscure status during his lifetime. Nevertheless, the work is an important piece within the oeuvre of Manfredi and serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Caravaggio's legacy on the Baroque period and beyond.
