EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Justice tarot card from the Charles VI or Gringonneur deck, dating back to the 14th century. The image was taken from a deck housed in the Bibliotheque Imperiale in Paris. It is an exquisite wood engraving featured in Paul Lacroix's book, "The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of the Renaissance" published in London in 1870. The allegorical figure of Justice takes center stage, embodying concepts such as balance and fairness. She holds a sword representing power and authority while holding scales symbolizing impartial judgment. This medieval depiction portrays a female figure donning regal attire, reflecting her importance as a symbol of justice during that era. This tarot card carries deep mythological significance, drawing upon ancient beliefs and predictions. Its presence within this historical context reminds us of its enduring relevance throughout time. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to an era filled with warfare and weaponry. The intricate details on display highlight both artistic skill and cultural values prevalent during the fourteenth century. Through this remarkable print collector's work, we catch a glimpse into King Charles VI's reign in France when Jacquemin Gringonneur crafted these extraordinary cards for his entertainment. Let us appreciate this timeless piece as it captures not only history but also our fascination with mythology and divination practices across centuries.
