The Star, a Fascimile of a Tarot Card from the Visconti Deck - A Glimpse into 15th Century Divination
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Star" an exquisite tarot card fascimile from the renowned Visconti deck. Created between 1441 and 1447 by Antonio Cicognara, this colour lithograph measures approximately 17.5x8.7 cm and is part of a private collection. Originally commissioned for Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti, this particular card belongs to the mayor arcana or major arcana series of 74 cards (originally 78). The intricate design captures the essence of divination in fifteenth-century Italy. As we delve into its symbolism, we encounter a mesmerizing female figure gracefully pouring water onto land and sea alike. Representing hope, inspiration, and spiritual guidance, "The Star" holds immense significance within tarot readings even today. This image invites us to explore ancient games that employed these cards as tools for play and fortune-telling. With trump-like qualities known as tarocks or tarocchi, they offered players glimpses into their destinies while providing entertainment during gatherings. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece of art history in stunning detail without commercial intentions. As we admire this print's delicate lines and vibrant colors, it transports us back in time to an era where mysticism intertwined with daily life—a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with divination
