"The so-called "Mantegna Tarot" was not created by the famous Venetian painter Andrea Mantegna (1431-1506), but is still one of the most praiseworthy and enigmatic Renaissance works of art. Its iconography is attributed to a learned scholar of the time, possibly in Guarino Guarini's circle, the artwork to an anonymous artist from Francesco del Cossa's school. Since it came to light in Italy around 1460 many versions of the deck have followed, including this recent one by Bulgarian artist Atanas Atanassov. "
