"The Fortune Teller" is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, completed around 1596-1597. The work is known for its realistic depiction of a human drama and is a prime example of Caravaggio's revolutionary approach to naturalism. The painting portrays a young man, dressed in the fashion of the upper class, having his palm read by a gypsy girl. As the girl predicts his future, she simultaneously removes a ring from his finger, capturing a moment of deceit.

This painting is significant in Caravaggio's oeuvre as it reflects his interest in depicting ordinary people from everyday life, a stark contrast to the religious and mythological themes prevalent in the art of his time. "The Fortune Teller" exists in two versions: the first, housed in the Musei Capitolini in Rome, and the second, slightly more refined version, in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Both versions showcase Caravaggio’s skill in using light to sculpt the figures and enhance the narrative quality of the scene.

The work has been interpreted as a commentary on the folly of youth, seduced by false promises and the allure of the unknown. "The Fortune Teller" was one of Caravaggio’s first genre paintings and was influential in establishing his reputation as a leading painter of the emerging Baroque period. The painting is admired for its vivid humanism and its subtle yet powerful critique of human nature.
