883699 Justice, c.1465 (engraving heightened with gold) by Master of the E-Series Tarocchi (fl.c.1465); 17.9x10 cm; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA; (add.info.: Some of the earliest Italian prints ever made, the Tarocchi resemble tarot cards in design but were actually too large to hold as a deck of cards. The so-called E-series engravings, with their lovely allegorical figures, are famed for their precise outlines and refined modeling technique. Justice belongs to the suit of Genii and Virtues. The sword signifies the power of Justice; the scales, her impartiality. The crane holding the stone represents vigilance because if it fell asleep the stone would drop and awaken it. ); 穢 Minneapolis Institute of Art; Bequest of Herschel V.
