This print showcases a fascimile of the Death tarot card from the renowned Visconti deck, created between 1441 and 1447. The colour litho reproduction by Bonifacio Bembo (c. 1420-82) beautifully captures the essence of this ancient divination tool. Measuring at 17.5x8.7 cm, this intriguing piece is part of a series of 74 cards originally designed for Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti. Each card holds its own symbolism and significance in the world of tarot readings. The Death card, also known as card XIII in the major arcana, depicts a haunting skeleton figure holding a scythe with an air of mystery and finality.

The intricate details on this tarot card evoke curiosity about our destiny while inviting introspection into our own lives. Whether used for divination purposes or simply admired for its historical value, this print carries centuries-old wisdom within its imagery. It stands as a testament to the enduring fascination humans have had with fortune-telling games like tarock or tarocchi throughout time. This remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images invites us to ponder life's mysteries while appreciating the artistic mastery behind these ancient
