EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Saturno, or Saturn, an ancient Roman deity, as imagined by the Master of the S-Series Tarocchi around 1470. The allegorical figure is shown with a scythe and a crown of oak leaves, symbolizing his role as the god of agriculture, time, and the harvest. The image is believed to have been part of a tarot card deck, a popular pastime in 15th century Italy. The artistic school of Andrea Mantegna is evident in the intricate details and precise lines, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the time. Saturno was often associated with the concept of time and the passage of the seasons, making him an important figure in the game of prognostication and fortune telling. The card may have been used to predict the outcome of various situations, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to social gatherings. The print is a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and historical traditions of ancient Rome, as well as the role of mythology in the daily life of the people. Today, this rare and beautiful work of art is preserved and exhibited in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., allowing us to appreciate the artistic mastery and historical significance of the Master of the S-Series Tarocchi.
