...Below is an interesting though more oblique depiction of the Strength card. For me it speaks more to the inner embodiment of Key 8. It's by Kinuko Craft.
Huh... interesting. But not Strength for me - unless you cut out that knight in the background who feels to me, like he's wondering if he could manage to sneak up behind her and chop off her head (beautiful pelt and all).
It's beautiful.
These may not look like paintings, but they are... this is Patrick Woodroffe's art.
I love "The Tower"!
Great thread, MandMaud!
What about this for the Empress? She's who I thought of when I first looked at the painting. It's from Robert Braithwaite Martineau - A Woman Of San Germano. (Renaissance Italy)

She looks like she's rather bored. :-D
I can't take credit for this one, but I was looking around for background to my new thread asking about the Two of Cups and found this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/L'Amour_et_Psyché_(Picot).jpg linked from here: http://thetarotnook.com/2013/05/20/2-of-cups/ - it covers the choice aspect of the Two as well as the lurve aspect, so I think it works.
Well now Eros - you cheeky thing.
I like the analysis in the link, and agree.
