Mantegna-Ladenspelder Tarot 1540

This reproduction of the Mantegna-Ladenspelder Tarot from 1540 belongs to a tradition of card-making that understood the deck as a symbolic ladder connecting the earthly and the divine. The images reflect a Renaissance understanding of the cosmos, where each figure represents a rung in an ordered progression from the material world toward transcendence.

Published by Rinascimento Italian Style Art, a team dedicated to the historical study and faithful reproduction of rare antique decks, this edition brings exceptional scholarly care to every detail. The result is a deck that functions as both a working divination tool and a window into the intellectual and spiritual culture of sixteenth-century Italy.
