In the context of The Fortune Teller (Valentin de Boulogne), explain the Fortune Teller Paintings of the Influence.
It has been recorded that Boulogne experimented with similar paintings of Roman low life genre scenes between 1614 and the 1620s through a catalogue of this work. He used the similar theme of tavern scenes featuring characters like fortune tellers, thieves, and soldiers. These themes were similar to other artists that he worked with and became consistent when creating genre paintings. Genre paintings depicted daily, domestic life in a naturalistic manner.  Fortune Teller paintings were a type of genre painting. The theme of fortune tellers was common among Caravaggio's followers in Rome as well as the Bamboccianti, with several of Valentin's contemporaries, such as Bartolomeo Manfredi, also making variations upon Caravaggio's prototypes. Fortune teller paintings typically feature a Romani woman as a fortune teller of some sort interacting with a man. There is also an element of criminality as fortune tellers had the stereotype of being thieves. That theme is depicted by the fortune teller distracting a man while stealing coin or jewelry off of them.
