Description

Abstract design of Tarot Cards. Tarot cards emerged in Europe over five centuries ago but their precise origin is really unknown. The Pierpont Morgan Library in New York owns 35 cards from a 78-card Tarot deck dating from circa 1848. They are believed to be the work of either Bonifacio Bembo or Antonio Cicognara. The deck apparently belonged to Cardinal Ascanio Maria Sforza (1445-1505) or to his mother Bianca Visconti Sforza.
