The Renaissance Tarot deck is adorned with luminescent art depicting allegorical mythological figures. The 22 Major Arcana cards feature the twelve deities of Olympus and other classical gods and demi-gods. The 56 Minor Arcana cards are represented by four great cities of the Renaissance: Milan (swords), Florence (staves), Venice (cups), and Rome (coins).

A Renaissance Tarot by Brian Williams is a journey through the symbolic landscape of the tarot. The illustrated guide explores how tarot cars are woven into the fabric of European culture, while providing both the beginner and the adept reader with a complete guide to the cards, their meanings and uses.

Brian Williams, a San Francisco Bay artist, has long been intrigued by classical and Renaissance art. He researched the origins and art of the tarot at Berkeley and the University of Padua in Italy. His other publications include a series of watercolors for Dante's Inferno, and The PoMo Tarot.
