i Tarocchi di Dante e dei Fedeli d'Amore
(Dante
Tarot)
|
|
|
Famous from its appearance in
Kaplan's Encyclopedia of Tarot, vol.
III (pp. 158, 163-164) and a frequent
subject of discussion on many of the tarot
news and chat groups, the "Tarocchi di
Dante e Dei Fedeli d'Amore" (Dante and the
Believers of Love Tarot) seems to be one
of the "holy grails" of tarot collecting.
Painted by Bolognese artist Wolfgang
Peretti Poggi, the Dante tarot was
published in 1983, and has drawn much
interest because of its fascinating
subject matter. Poggi's illustrations for
the Dante tarot were largely inspired by
"The Divine Comedy," although the artist
has included subject matter pulled from a
wide variety of Dante's works.
