EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Pope" a fascinating fascimile of a tarot card from the Visconti deck. Created between 1441-47, this colour lithograph by Bembo, Bonifacio (c. 1420-82) is an exquisite piece of art that now resides in a private collection. Also known as "The Hierophant" this particular card is part of a larger series of 74 cards (originally 78) commissioned for Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it truly remarkable. In this image, we see the Pope seated majestically, adorned in his regal robes. His presence exudes wisdom and authority as he holds court over the game being played before him. This mayor arcana card holds great significance in divination practices and trump games. The historical context behind these tarot cards adds to their allure. They were not only used for entertainment but also served as tools for spiritual guidance and fortune-telling. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to the fifteenth century when these cards were first created. It's a reminder of how art can transcend time and continue to captivate us centuries later.
