The Popess - A Fascinating Glimpse into the Mystical World of Tarot
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Popess" a fascimile of a tarot card from the Visconti deck, dating back to 1441-47. Created by Bonifacio Bembo, or attributed to him, this exquisite piece measures 17.5x8.7 cm and is part of a private collection. Originally crafted for Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti, this particular card belongs to a series of 74 (originally 78) cards that were designed for their enjoyment. The Visconti deck holds immense historical significance as one of the earliest known tarot decks in existence. Intriguingly, "The Popess" represents Card II in the Major Arcana sequence and portrays a female figure seated on an ornate throne-like chair. She exudes an air of wisdom and authority as she holds a staff adorned with intricate details. Tarot enthusiasts will recognize her as the High Priestess or Papessa – an embodiment of divine knowledge and intuition. This image invites us into the world of divination, where players engage in games using these powerful trump cards known as tarock or tarocchi. Through this stunning lithograph reproduction by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to fifteenth-century Italy when these cards were used not only for entertainment but also for spiritual guidance and insight into life's mysteries.
