PROVENANCE

fun fact:
The mandorla framing Mars recalls depictions of Christ in majesty in portals of Romanesque cathedrals.

digital description:
This engraving is part of the Tarocchi group marked with the letter “A”, and named<em> Firmaments of the Universe</em>. This series comprises the seven planets from the classical astronomy (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) and the three celestial spheres that separate them from the Supreme Entity (<em>Prima Causa</em>) from which everything was originated. <br><br>Here, <em>Iupiter </em>(Jupiter) is personified as a full-length crowned male figure, turned to left. He is seated on a double rainbow and framed by a mandorla with an eagle at the top and a child at the bottom. Dead soldiers appear in the imaginary landscape surrounding Jupiter.
