EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Hanged Man" a tarot card from the Charles VI or Gringonneur deck, painted by the Italian School in the 15th century. Currently housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork is believed to have been initially created as a source of entertainment for King Charles VI. Though originally thought to be playing cards, these intricately designed tarot cards hold immense significance in superstition, fortune-telling, and cartomancy. "The Hanged Man" card depicts a man suspended upside down by one foot from a tree branch. Symbolically representing sacrifice and surrender, this prophetic image invites contemplation on life's paradoxes and challenges our conventional perspectives. The painting exudes an air of mystery and intrigue with its rich colors and meticulous details. As an artifact steeped in history and tradition, this piece serves as a visual portal into centuries-old divination practices. Its presence evokes curiosity about ancient beliefs surrounding fate and destiny while offering glimpses into the human desire to seek guidance beyond what meets the eye. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this timeless work of art through their photography expertise. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic prowess behind "The Hanged Man" but also its enduring relevance as an emblem of introspection and foresight.
