      Creating Mantegna Tarocci Cards - Elena Kryuchkova

      Introduction

      This book will focus on the cards of Mantegna Tarocci and the creation of cards with your own hands.

      To begin with, it is worth telling about the cards of Mantegna Tarocci. There are two different decks of cards that were created by two different 15th century Italian artists. Alas, history has not preserved the names of these artists.

      Previously, until the 19th century, there was an assumption that the author of the cards was the painter and engraver Andrea Mantegna, who lived in 1432-1506. But now this version is not supported.

      There is also a theory that the Florentine engraver Baccio Baldini was the author of Mantegna Tarocci. Therefore, sometimes these cards are called ‘Carte di Baldini’. Although, probably, Baldini also has nothing to do with them. Also, the creation of Mantegna Tarocci was attributed to the artist Bartolomeo Vivarini, Carlo Crivelli from Venice and Sandro Botticelli.

      It is believed that Tarot cards appeared in Italy between 1420 and 1440. In 1450, the Visconti-Sforza Tarot deck was created, which became the prototype of modern Tarot decks. Mantegna Tarocci is also an early deck. There is even speculation that Mantegna Tarocci may be an earlier deck than the Visconti-Sforza Tarot. But there is a possibility that the creators of Mantegna Tarocci and Visconti-Sforza Tarot took ideas from the mystical symbolism of the Renaissance, which contained many pagan and other ideas.

      Mantegna Tarocci differs from traditional tarot in that they do not have suits. They represent a humanistic model of the cosmos of the Renaissance, and also reflect the spheres of human activity, the ideology and social structure of that period, and ideas about ancient mythology.

      It is also noted that Tarot cards usually consist of 78 cards. But Mantegna Tarocci consist of 50 cards. They are divided into 5 groups of 10 cards in each group.

      - The first group ‘Hierarchy of persons’ (01 Beggar (Misero), 02 Servant (Fameio), 03 Craftsman (Artixan), 04 Merchant (Merchadante), 05 Gentleman (Zintilomo), 06 Knight (Chavalier), 07 Doge (Doxe), 08 King (Re), 09 Emperor (Imperator), 10 Pope (Papa)).

      - The second group ‘Nine Muses and Apollo’, consists of Nine Muses Protecting the Arts and Apollo (11 Calliope, the oldest muse, 12 Urania, 13 Terpsichore, 14 Erato , 15 Polyhymnia , 16 Thalia, 17 Melpomene, 18 Euterpe, 19 Klio, 20 Apollo).

      - The third group
