Summaryedit

Description

English: A major arcana card in Visconti Sforza tarot deck, beautifully drawn in the mid XVth century by Italian artist Bonifacio Bembo for the Visconti and Sforza dukes of Milan. Four cards (out of seventy-eight) are lost from the deck (the fifteenth and sixteenth major arcana—respectively the Devil and the Tower—, the Knight of Coins, and the Three of Swords), thus seventy-four cards remain.Datemid XVth centurySourceThe card images were scanned by David Madore and published on the internet in 2003-09. They are scans of a fac simile version printed by AGMüller in Switzerland, though US Games Systems also seems to be somehow part of the editing process, which David bought in 2003-08 from an online store (broken link).AuthorBonifacio Bembo (1420–1480) Alternative names

“I will write love letters to you that will still be read a century after we are gone.” — Pietro Bembo to Lucrezia Borgia, July 1504

A lock of Lucrezia Borgia's hair displayed in a glass case at the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana in Milan. It was discovered around 1680, was preserved along with love letters between Lucrezia and Pietro Bembo.

Propaganda in support of the authors is accepted, you can write it both in the tag if reblog the poll (explaining maybe that is propaganda and you want to see posted) or in the comments. Every few days it will be recollected and posted here under the cut.

“I rejoice that each day to increase my fire you cunningly devise some fresh incitement, such as that which encircled your glowing brow today.* If you do such things because, feeling some little warmth yourself, you wish to see another burn, I shall not deny that for each spark of yours untold Etnas are raging in my breast.”

—Pietro Bembo to Lucrezia Borgia [“f.f.”], Letter IX, 14 July 1503

*Encircling Lucrezia’s brow was a jeweled ferronière, from which a large emerald dangled. She also draped herself in dark-velvet dresses to accentuate the rubies and pearls that she wore, as well as her famous golden tresses.

james wardrop tells us in The Script of Humanism [clarendon press, oxford, 1963, p48] of the cancellaresca testeggiata as written by the milanese gianfrancesco cresci: «It is not difficult to detect, in its contours and flourishes, the prefiguration of Victorian copperplate: less easy, perhaps, to evoke from them the serene and comely form, ‘Noble and nude and antique’ in Swinburne’s words, ‘castigata et clara’ in Petrarch’s, that the Tuscan saw in the pages of Horace.» the context for swinburne is his poem «Dolores»; for petrarch’s words vide ‹humanist eyestrain›.
