It's not the most complex game, but Dixit has really beautiful cards, in my opinion.

Also Mysterium has similar good looking big cards! I suppose they are both in a sort of tarot format.
Not the cards but the money is the Firefly (yes the TV show) board game was very detailed and beautiful.
Parks has very pretty cards (they are by different artists so vary a fair bit)

I picked up Faraway recently and like the art on those cards - slightly surreal fantasy theme.

“Secret Hitler” isn’t beautiful per se, but to me it has a wonderful visual style.
I'm sharing my current favorites here:
- Arkham Horror: Beautiful illustration, as well as a beautiful game in my opinion.
- MtG: Magic cards remain among the most polished and beautiful ever created, even if I hate the direction it has taken, and in general I appreciate competitive games less and less in favor of more collaborative ones; in fact my favorite way to play Magic is with the Archenemy format (there is also an excellent boxed product).
- Marvel Champions: I don't actually have this in my collection but it looks pretty cool, I have to admit I'm quite a fan of Fantasy Flight Games at the moment!

Oh? I'm not a MtG player so I've no idea of what's been going on.
50% of MtG products are now "Beyond Universe" cards, third-party intellectual propriety such as SpongeBob, Stranger Things, Doctor Who and more; and they are all standard legal. Here a video if you want more details: https://youtu.be/7us923DG-Gg
Forest Shuffle is quite educational with its detailed cards and lovely art: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/391163/forest-shuffle
I really like the Ascension art, especially the earliest sets
