This print showcases "The Moon" tarot card from the Charles VI or Gringonneur deck, dating back to the 14th century. The intricate wood engraving was taken from a deck housed in the Bibliotheque Imperiale in Paris, offering us a glimpse into medieval times. In this image, we see a female astronomer deeply engrossed in her study of the moon. Her focused expression reveals her dedication to unraveling its mysteries. The crescent-shaped moon shines brightly above her, symbolizing enlightenment and hidden knowledge. This artwork not only represents astronomy but also encompasses elements of astrology and mythology. It serves as a reminder of how people in the 14th century sought answers through divination and predictions using tarot cards. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this piece, transporting us back to the Middle Ages when such practices were prevalent. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, showcasing both artistic skill and scientific curiosity. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our human fascination with celestial bodies throughout history. It captures a moment frozen in time when science intertwined with mythological beliefs, creating an enchanting blend that continues to captivate us today.
