Tarocchi nei Colori della Toscana      1992 Amerigo Folchi      Italy                                                   Art Medium: Watercolour, pen and ink. Description: This was commissioned from Folchi by the Italian watchmaker Swatch. Folchi takes the main image from the Tarot of Marseilles and places these beside an important building in Tuscany. Thus the Emperor is shown beside the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, the Hierophant with the Cathedral in Siena, the Chariot, which is shown atop the roof of the Church of St. Michele and Strength, where the watch holds the Tower of Pisa in place. The already heightened colours of the images in this deck are further stressed by the inclusion in each design of a Swatch style watch.
