Medieval Scapini Tarot      1988 Luigi Scapini      USA                                                   Art Medium: Oil paintings. Description: Luigi Scapini is an artist of considerable stature. He has worked in various media, especially fresco painting and mosaics. He has held many exhibitions in major European and US cities, including New York, Paris, London, Milan, Rome, Florence, Ravenna, and Geneva. He was asked by US Games to recreate the cards missing from the 15th Century Cary-Yale and Pierpont Morgan-Bergamo Tarocchi decks. This was published by US Games in 1984. Probably, as a result of this experience, he decided to work on designs for his own Medieval style deck. He has also created the artwork for the Bacchus Tarot, the Romeo and Juliet Tarot and the Tarocco delle Vetrate.
