Leonardo da Vinci didn’t play by the rules.

He accepted commissions he never finished. He invented machines so advanced, the technology of his day couldn’t produce them. He completed masterpieces—like The Last Supper—using untested and unstable techniques.

Like its namesake, the Da Vinci Tarot doesn’t play by the rules. And, like its namesake, this deck will delight some, and challenge others.

A Different Voice
Right up front: the Da Vinci Tarot isn’t your grandma’s Rider-Waite deck. Instead of merely redrawing Pamela Coleman Smith’s influential images in Da Vincis style, Iassen Ghiuselev and Atanas Atanassov (the artists for this deck) decided to illustrate these cards with elements, ideas, and symbols adapted from Da Vinci’s work.

This can be disconcerting at first, especially for those who expect to see three dancing Mona Lisas on the Da Vinci Tarots Three of Cups. But if we can move beyond such expectations—if we can open ourselves to new experiences, innovative approaches, and fresh interpretations of familiar themes—the Da Vinci Tarot’s haunting images will inspire insights that more familiar decks cannot.

A Different Kind of Beauty
here are thousands of Tarot decks on the market, and no two are quite alike. The overwhelming trend in recent times is to make decks as vibrant and colorful as possible. And there’s no denying that many of these decks—like The Gilded Tarot, with its luminescent surfaces and gossamer fabrics, or even the Medieval Enchantment Tarot, with its warm pastels—are some of the most beautiful ever created.

By comparison, the Da Vinci Tarot’s illustrations can appear, especially at first glance, monochromatic. (Try it yourself. Put the Da Vinci Chariot in a line-up with, say, the Chariot from the Quest Tarot or the Advancement card from the Bright Idea Deck. If these cards were people, which ones would you notice first at a party?)

Given time and attention, though, the Da Vinci Tarot cards pulse with energy. Notice the play of light and shadow. See how the use of chiaroscuro—a subtle shading technique typical of Leonardo’s own work—makes the flat images appear almost three dimensional. Color is employed here, but cleverly, with reservation and purpose, and in ways that always enhance meaning.
