EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The World" an exquisite fascimile of a tarot card from the renowned Visconti deck. Created between 1441-47 by Antonio Cicognara, this vibrant lithograph transports us back to the enchanting world of fifteenth-century Italy. The image depicts a majestic castle nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery. Atop the fortress stands a globe, symbolizing universal knowledge and enlightenment. This tarot card, known as Card XXI or "The World" is part of the Major Arcana - a set of powerful cards used for divination and fortune-telling. Intricately detailed cherubs and putti adorn the scene, adding an ethereal touch to this mystical artwork. Their presence suggests divine guidance and protection in our journey through life's challenges. Originally commissioned by Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti, this series of 74 (originally 78) tarot cards held great significance in their time. They were not merely objects for entertainment but tools for introspection and self-discovery. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of humanity's timeless fascination with fate and destiny. The intricate details invite us to explore our own inner worlds while contemplating life's mysteries. This photograph invites us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical importance encapsulated within each card
