The King of Cups - A Glimpse into the Mystical World of Tarot

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a facsimile of "The King of Cups" an exquisite tarot card from the renowned Visconti deck. Created between 1441 and 1447, this vibrant colour litho by Bonifacio Bembo (c. 1420-82) offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of divination and fortune-telling. Measuring at 17.5x8.7 cm, this card is part of a series originally crafted for Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti, consisting of 74 cards (originally 78). Its intricate design features symbols steeped in medieval symbolism, reflecting both superstition and ancient wisdom. Intriguingly seated with his profile turned towards us, The King holds a golden goblet adorned with a crown-like chalice symbolizing responsibility and power. As one of the court cards in the minor arcana, he represents emotional intelligence, creativity, and mastery over emotions. This image transports us to an era where cartomancy was practiced as both a game and an oracle for predicting future events. With its gold leaf accents adding an air of magic to its creation, this tarot card serves as a powerful tool for professional readers seeking insights into life's mysteries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Renaissance period, we are reminded that even today these ancient archetypes continue to captivate our imagination –
