22 Arcani Maggiori      2008 Luigina Monteu-Gina      Italy                                                   Art Medium: Pen drawings heightened in a few areas with a wash of colour. Description: Printed on thick card embossed with a laid paper texture. The faces are delicately and sensitively portrayed. Luigina Monteu-Gina is a master of shading using cross hatching and creates subtle transitions from dark to light. These look almost like high quality copperplate engravings one finds in 17th and 18th century book illustration. She has even gone so far as to create different borders for each card.
