Out of curiosity, this has probably been discussed elsewhere on this forum..but trump XVI (usually the tower)…shows a tree and a sun, and a person underneath it…what do people feel like this is an image of?
Tarot de Jacques Vieville

I believe this is La Foudre, the lightning strike.

That's right. It's a shepherd. His sheep are clustered beneath the tree.
In some old decks, the tower card is called "the lightening struck tower," just as some decks call judgement "the angel." Gives a different feeling, doesn't it?

imo lightning have more logic than tower as it can represent different levels of illumination/nature light phenomena; lighting star moon sun?)
