EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the joker card from a 15th-century tarot deck, extracted from the remarkable collection of Les Arts au Moyen Age. Published in 1873, this lithograph by the French School beautifully captures the essence of medieval entertainment and amusement. The male jester depicted on this playing card exudes an air of mystery and mischief. Dressed in a vibrant costume that reflects the fashion of the Middle Ages, he holds his musical instruments with confidence. A horn rests against his lips while his nimble fingers tap rhythmically on a drum nearby. Intriguingly, this illustration offers us a glimpse into both pastimes and artistry during those times. The jester's presence reminds us of their crucial role as entertainers in medieval courts, bringing joy through music and jests to all who watched them perform. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported back centuries ago when these cards were used for divination or simply enjoyed as part of popular games. It serves as a testament to our fascination with history and how it continues to inspire contemporary artists today. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this particular piece is now accessible thanks to Ken Welsh's efforts in preserving historical artifacts like these tarot cards. Its availability allows enthusiasts to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also gain insights into cultural practices prevalent during that era.
