Geometria

from The Mantegna Tarocchi, c. 1465

A woman seated on a cloud holding a measuring rod, four geometric figures (a circle, a triangle, a square and a quadrilateral) floating beside her, a landscape with a lake below. Geometry, fourth of the liberal arts and the only one of the group lifted off the ground. The figures beside her are engraved, not added, and the cloud is faintly gilded in this impression.
