Apollo

from The Mantegna Tarocchi, c. 1465

Apollo crowned and seated on a bank with two swans flanking him, a laurel branch in one hand, his feet resting on a starry globe, a gilded sun-like emblem at his side. The last card of the Muse group. The starry globe and the sun device point forward to the cosmic cards later in the set, where the spheres become the subject.
