Five of Cups 1751

This 18th-century tarot card, “Five of Cups,” by Claude Burdel, exemplifies the intricate designs of French playing cards from the period. The card depicts five stylized chalices, representing the suit of cups, arranged in a triangular pattern. The vibrant colors and detailed ornamentation of the chalices, along with the delicate floral flourishes, showcase the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. This particular card, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the enduring allure of tarot imagery.
