Does anyone have the Peintures du Monde tarot? I'm a bit suspicious when people adopt well-known artworks for their tarot (Art of Life tarot was a disappointment for me). The very simple, borderless look of this deck is attractive, and the choice of art from the 17th and 18th century gives a certain coherence... although Rococo and Pre-Raphaelites have quite different agendas.
Kat Black's collaged art decks are great successes for me because the collage technique doesn't "nail" the association of ONE work to ONE card, it treats both art and tarot more freely, and I like that.
Decks that use one work of art per card can look great; the Infinite Visions and Delphic Tarot are interesting, but I didn't buy either. And now the Peintures du Monde tarot.
Thinking about it - the title is a bit grandiose. If you choose famous English and French paintings from the 18th and 19th century with a sprinkling of Italian and Flemish.... you can't really call that "Paintings of the world". That detail shouldn't influence readability, though.
