The record
Have you seen Lo Scarabeo's Golden Botticelli Tarot? This little treasure that samples the work of the Italian Renaissance master painter known as Botticelli and decorates those images in accents of gold should satisfy your desire for artistry and opulence. And need I remind you that it's the holiday gift-giving season? You do want to impress that special Tarot-loving someone, don't you? The deck features a conventional array of 78 cards (2-1/2" x 4-3/4"), each with its black border that identifies it in six languages. The framed imagery generally includes close-up or mid-range figures set against a landscape and surrounded by an atmosphere of decorative gold. Visually, this is one of Lo Scarabeo's most successful issues, comparable to the publisher's sumptuous, although certainly less graceful, Mantegna Tarot (aka Silver Mantegna) and easily more appealing than Atanassov's Golden Tarot of Klimt. In the popularity polls, Botticelli's probably got it all over Klimt anyway, although--beauty being in the eye of the beholder--the Klimt's intensely radiant cards surely have their fervent fans. In any case, Atanassov's creative eye and mind are superb. I'm especially impressed by Atanass
