Ashford's meticulous attention to realism and his ability to capture the grandeur of the building make this painting a stunning tribute to the allure of casinos as architectural marvels.

"The Ball of the Casino of Madrid" by Jean-Baptiste Isabey

"The Casino, Nice" by Raoul Dufy

Raoul Dufy was a prominent French Fauvist painter. He depicted the vibrant scene of the Casino in Nice, France, in his eponymous painting.

"A Friend in Need" by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge

This renowned painting has become an iconic representation of dogs playing poker. Created by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge in the early 1900s, "A Friend in Need" portrays several dogs sitting around a table, engaged in a poker game.

The painting not only captures the humor and camaraderie associated with gambling but has also become a cultural reference in popular media, symbolizing the playful side of casino culture.

"Le Cercle de la Rue Royale" by Jean Béraud

Painted by the French artist Jean Béraud in the late 19th century, "Le Cercle de la Rue Royale" provides a glimpse into the extravagant world of a Parisian casino.

"Monte Carlo Casino" by André Derain

André Derain, a prominent French Fauvist artist, created "Monte Carlo Casino" in the early 20th century. Derain's vibrant use of colors and bold brushstrokes capture the essence of the famous casino in Monaco.

The painting radiates energy and excitement, mirroring the lively atmosphere of this renowned gambling destination. Derain's unique style and expressive technique infuse the artwork with a sense of dynamism and modernity.

"Las Vegas Strip" by Edward Hopper

Edward Hopper, known for his masterful portrayal of American landscapes and urban scenes, painted "Las Vegas Strip" in 1966. This iconic artwork showcases the famous Las Vegas Boulevard, illuminated by neon signs and adorned with grand casino buildings.
