Re

from The Mantegna Tarocchi, c. 1465

A crowned king seated frontally on a stone throne, a thin sceptre in one hand, the other on his hip, in a pleated tunic with bare legs and feet. The king here is a young, secular ruler; the Emperor above him is bearded and the Pope above both. Unlike a tarot King, he belongs to no suit; this set has no suits at all.
