One rare piece after another, the Walters Art Museum has been putting its incredible collection of medieval manuscripts and artwork on-line for the world to enjoy.
Not only can you now see much of the collection without having to take a trip to Maryland, you can download the images for free and do with them what you may.
For instance … make a Tarot deck using stunning medieval art!
With just a few clicks I came across an early 15th C image of the four evangelists by Dirc Van Delft. It’s calling me to make it a Wheel of Fortune or World card.
And look at this alabaster sculpture of Christ’s Resurrection, a clear depiction of Judgment.
And if Saint John the Evangelist isn’t the perfect Hierophant I don’t know who is.
This is going to be fun …
