The cards of the Medieval Scapini Tarot recreate the Middle Ages of Europe with symbolism, costume and setting. The gold backgrounds of the court cards and the Major Arcana recall the great tarocchi of 15th century Italy, and many images on the cards are inspired by masterpieces of the Renaissance. The symbolism combines medieval icons with the esoteric traditions that became publicly known in the 18th century.
Alchemical processes color the cards.
Many symbols that I 'invented' intuitively were affirmed by my discovery that they had been used by other artists long ago. Text based on the instruction booklet and the artist biography card.
