This 6x8" giclée print features the King of Diamonds playing card from Caelestes, a deck inspired by medieval interpretations of time and space. 
 
The King of Diamonds is Virgo’s card, featuring an illustration of a celestial hand picking the summer’s grapes to become wine.
 
In the Caelestes deck, each of the court cards correspond to an astrological sign, which is determined by the card’s value for modality (fixed, cardinal, mutable) and the card’s suit for its element (water, earth, fire, air). Kings are mutable modality, occurring at the end of their seasons. Diamonds correspond to the tarot suit pentacles, which in turn represents the element of earth.
 
Thus, the King of Diamonds is our Virgo card - the earth sign occurring late-summer. The illustrations on each court card take inspiration from documented Medieval labors of their respective seasons, creating a calendar.
