Allegories of Morality Playing Cards designed by Ray Buttigieg for Funhouse

On the 445 year anniversary of the birth of Cesare Ripa, the Italian mythopoet, who in his Iconologia, he presented a system of codification of symbolism which, during the baroque and rococo periods in Europe artists and poets accepted certain symbolism represented a universal language of metaphor (or iconography), which permeated painting, sculpture and other forms like poetry and aspects of prose. Ray has designed the playing card set that he called Allegories of Morality based on the Johann Georg Hertel’s edition of 1760. This edition which was published 245 years ago and exactly 200 years after Ripa’s birth consisted of 200 plates illustrated by the painter, Gottfried Eichler the Younger. The gorgeous colorization of the images is truly top notch and the added symbolism with the combination of letters and numbers really combines and completes the concept. Check out here for a view.

As he explained, “From the very beginning of my career I realized right away that I would prefer to operate as an outsider when it comes to the creative process. I do not want any rules or restrictions when I am creating.” Look for more updates as and when they become available
