What TAROT Deck is THIS:

[Aziah]

I was browsing tarot decks and came across this website with this phenominal picture...

http://www.nickydiamond.com/tarot.html

I speak of the photo of the chained women (Andromeda) on the right of the page.

Is that a Tarot deck? Oracle Deck? If so...which one???

Thanks!

Is it the Victorian romantic?

 

[Aziah]

I dont' think so...the colors are more vivid than VR

 

[Mariana]

No, it's not. I don't think it's a deck, unfortunately, just a pre-raphaelite painting...

 

[Briar Rose]

My guess is going to be William Blake Tarot because it reminds me of the pre-Raphaelite artists.

Amazing isn't it!

That is an illustration by Gustave Dore called "Andromeda"

I believe there is somone who has posted to this site who is making a tarot deck using his work. I Know that Orphalese Tarot has a digital deck you can download.

I would love a physical set of cards of these.

There's nothing Pre-Raphaelite about Blake though, neither in style nor in time period (he died a few decennia before the Pre-Raphaelites even started.) I'm quite sure it's not a deck, just a nice illustration...

Thanks Deb for all the info!

...too bad this wasn't part of a real tarot deck. Stunning painting! Now see, someone needs to make a tarot deck like THAT!

 

[Mariana]

I know! There's an oracle with pre-raphaelite paintings though, called Oracle of the Grail Code: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/oracle-grail-code/ .

Me too, thank you for the info. I was wondering too.
