EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The King of Wands" a facsimile of a tarot card from the Visconti deck. Created by the talented artist Bembo, this piece dates back to 1441-47 and measures 17.5x8.7 cm. The original card was part of a series of 74 (originally 78) cards commissioned for Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti. Intricately designed with vibrant colors, this tarot card holds great significance in the realm of fortune-telling and mysticism. The King of Wands represents true leadership, honesty, and faithfulness symbolized through his regal crown and scepter. Seated in a fair posture with crossed legs, the king exudes an aura of wisdom as he acts as an intermediary or mediator between realms unseen. With gold leaf accents adding a touch of opulence to the image, it is clear that this king possesses both power and clairvoyance. As one delves into cartomancy or divination using these medieval playing cards, they unlock secrets about friendship, loyalty, magic, and even predictions about future events. This particular card serves as an omen for success in games played during the Renaissance period. Whether you are drawn to its symbolic allure or simply appreciate its historical value, this stunning print captures the essence of ancient tarot traditions while offering glimpses into centuries-old beliefs surrounding fate and destiny.
