"A knight in black armor advances on a white horse, a banner adorned with a rose at the end of his spear. Before him, a fallen king; behind him, the sun rises between two towers."

Symbolism and origin of the card

This card is taken from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, published in 1909 by Arthur Edward Waite and illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith. It is the most reproduced and studied tarot deck in the world: each card tells a complete scene (unlike the Tarot de Marseille, which is more symbolic and abstract on the minor arcana), which has made it the visual reference for modern tarot reading worldwide.

Rarely literal, this card speaks of the end of a cycle and radical transformation: something must end for something else to begin. The white rose promises renewal, not an absolute end.

What does the Death card mean in tarot?

In tarot, Death almost never predicts an actual death: it symbolizes the end of a cycle and a deep, necessary transformation that paves the way for renewal.

Which size should I choose for this Death Arcana poster?

This Death Arcana poster is available in 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 50 cm, and 50 x 70 cm. The 30 x 40 cm size is suitable for a hallway, office, or gallery wall; the 50 x 70 cm size stands alone above a sofa or bed. The frame is not included; the sizes are standard and can be found commercially.

Gift idea to symbolically mark a new chapter in life.

Beautiful images deserve beautiful paper

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. Colors keep their depth, as on the page of a book.

It is eco-friendly paper from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a piece is not the same as seeing it once. It stays there, you find it again in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.
