EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the reverse side of an Italian tarot card from the 16th century. The intricate details and symbolism depicted in this artwork offer a glimpse into the world of fortune-telling and divination during that era. The image, sourced from a private collection, is part of a larger illustration featured in Ernest Bosc's "Dictionnaire de l'art, de la curiosité et du bibelot" published in Paris in 1883. It provides us with a fascinating visual representation of an ancient practice that continues to captivate people's imaginations today. Tarot cards have long been associated with predicting the future and playing card games. This particular card carries elements specific to Italian culture, reflecting its origins and influence on European society at large. The engraving technique used for this piece adds depth and texture to the overall composition. As we admire this print, we are transported back to Italy during the 16th century - a time when these mystical cards were embraced by Italians seeking guidance or entertainment. The presence of the Italian flag reminds us of their national pride while also highlighting their contribution to European history. This remarkable artwork serves as both an aesthetic delight and a historical artifact, offering us insight into centuries-old traditions that continue to intrigue us today.
