EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Four of Cups" a facsimile of a tarot card from the Visconti deck. Created between 1441-47, this exquisite piece measures 17.5x8.7 cm and belongs to a private collection. The Visconti deck was originally commissioned by Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti, consisting of 74 cards (originally 78) filled with intricate symbolism. In this particular card, we witness a scene that evokes both curiosity and contemplation. A young man sits beneath an ornamental banner adorned with vibrant flowers and leaves, surrounded by three golden goblets before him. However, his expression reveals an air of repugnance or distaste as he gazes upon the fourth cup being offered to him. This image captures the essence of fortune-telling and divination through its rich symbolism and medieval aesthetic. It invites us into the world of cartomancy, where each card holds significant meaning in predicting one's future or unraveling hidden truths. "The Four of Cups" serves as a reminder that bitter experiences can lead to personal growth or enlightenment if we are willing to open ourselves up to new possibilities beyond our initial aversions. This timeless artwork continues to fascinate audiences today, bridging the gap between centuries-old superstitions and our modern fascination with mysticism and self-discovery.
