The Tarot to revive Brera
Paid 800 000 euro: it is the 'only' pack 'full of the Renaissance
T o be able to give life to the planned extension of the Pinacoteca di Brera, expected to thirty years', we have to rely on the 'cabal', must have thought the Ministry for Cultural Heritage, as the Milan Museum has acquired, 800 000 euro, the 'only full deck of tarot cards, engraved on metal, Renaissance. They are the "Tarot Sola Busca" (from the name of the family to which they belonged), made by a master of Ferrara, perhaps linked to Cosme Tura (who is given the preparatory drawings for the cards), 1490. It is painted in tempera plates in different colors, with silver and gold on the various shields and coats of arms of 14 cm for seven, and they were bound by the 1924. I am a full deck of 78 cards, 14 for each suit (spades, clubs, gold, cups), or the Minor Arcana, and 22 picture cards, the Major Arcana. The knights, queens and kings of each series bear the names of classical and biblical characters. One paper, the 'last, shows the traditional figure of the Fool, or the wild card, which will hopefully come out to save the complex from Brera slow. It is a very important purchase (the second most expensive outlay of 2009 the ministry), because it makes the Brera museum with the most remarkable assembly prestigious card games of the Renaissance. The gallery had in fact already in 1971 acquired the 48 "Brambilla Tarot» products in the Duchy of Milan Sforza, who are a bunch more fragmentary one of the oldest series produced in Europe: the so-called deck made for Filippo Maria Visconti in 1447 preserved at Yale University Library in New Haven. The Visconti were one of the first families to spread the tarot cards (then called Triumphs). The most complete bunch come down to us, not made before 1450, is once again in Milan: these are the so-called "Tarot of Francesco Sforza," on which scheme is modeled in the next cards. So much so that often the coat of arms and motto Visconti "A bon droyt" appear, along with the heraldic symbols of the family (such as the radiant sun, three diamond rings intertwined, the snake) in some decks. In Milan, the game was so widespread that we find him also shown in several frescoes. The decks were usually made at parties, weddings or special occasions. The "Tarot Sola Busca" have already arrived in Milan and will be exhibited (perhaps as early as the end of 'year) in an exhibition on the culture of Ferrara. These tarot cards were not the 'single purchase of the ministry, after the controversial Crucifix by Michelangelo, in' last year has made evaluating the quality of historical, artistic and documentary works, the restoration of works dismembered in a single context and the completion and increase of special collections. In addition to the tarot, it should be noted between the purchases of 'last year, the large painting by Ludovico Brea (1,200,000 euro), which was originally part of an altarpiece for the chapel executed by the painter Pietro Di Fazio in the' old church Consolation of Genoa and from there moved away in 'Nineteenth Century (will Palazzo Spinola in Genoa). Overall, 's acquisition of new works in the Ministry of Culture' in 2009 spent € 3,073,950, of which 2,169,400 in private negotiations. Among the works that will arrive in Milan there are also "The Merchant of slaves," marble sculpture by Vincenzo Vela (78,400 euro) and "Study of the crowd in San pontificate of Pius VI Zanipolo in Venice," pen and ink drawing Look sepia watercolor.
