Italian artist Luigi Scapini’s lavish paintings recreate 15th-century Italy in this gold-accented tarot deck. The Major Arcana and court cards have gold backgrounds in the manner of fifteenth-century European decks. Both the Major and Minor Arcana include full scenes. In the Minors, symmetrical arrangements of the suit symbols provide the composition around which the scenes are arranged.

The depth of Scapini's art history expertise is evident in his lush settings and period costumes. Interesting details and sometimes humorous references are cleverly embedded in the artwork, with many of the cards depicting historical figures, such as Rasputin as the Knight of Cups. Readers will easily relate to the universal situations revealed in the cards, making for pleasurable and insightful readings.
