Theologia

from The Mantegna Tarocchi, c. 1465

A woman seated on a starry hemisphere, two-faced like Janus, one face looking up and the other down, her hands holding a globe against her body. Theology, the tenth and highest of the arts group. The two faces are usually explained as her double sight, towards heaven and towards the world. The Cleveland impression of this card is on slightly different paper from its neighbours.
