This print showcases "The Two of Wands" a facsimile of a tarot card from the Visconti deck, created between 1441-47. Measuring at 17.5x8.7 cm, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection and holds immense historical significance. The Visconti deck was originally crafted for Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti, consisting of 74 cards (originally 78). This particular card falls under the minor arcana category, symbolizing attainment and achievement. Its intricate design features ornamental flowers intertwined with crossed wands on a background adorned with gold leaf accents. Tarot cards have long been associated with superstition and fortune-telling practices. They serve as powerful tools for divination and clairvoyance, allowing individuals to gain insights into their past, present, and future. The symbolism depicted in this card speaks volumes about the medieval era's fascination with magic and occult practices. "The Two of Wands" carries an aura of mystery as it invites players to engage in games or play using these symbolic cards. The scroll-like banner at the bottom adds an element of elegance while leaves gracefully frame the composition. Bembo's masterful execution brings forth the essence of Renaissance artistry through his attention to detail and skillful use of color lithography techniques. This remarkable print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into centuries-old traditions surrounding tarot reading—an omen-filled journey that continues to captivate
