Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475[2]– 1564) was one of the greatest artists of all time: sculptor, painter, architect, and poet. Michelangelo needs no introduction, just remember some majestic works of art such as David, Moses, the Vatican Pietà, the Dome of St. Peter's, and the cycle of frescoes in the Sistine Chapel.
For this tarot deck dedicated to his art, the drawings were chosen, which are also wonderful but less known, in order to offer a look at these works as well. Only a couple of exceptions: the World (XXI arcana) - a detail from the Sistine Chapel - and the Magician (I arcana), a portrait of Michelangelo made by Daniele da Volterra.
For each card, the location of the original work is described and a few words by Michelangelo himself taken from his work Le Rime. Obviously, the English translation is literal and could not respect the original Italian rhymes.
In the graphic work, images from the Visconti Sforza Tarot were included, thus creating a creative synergy: art within art to celebrate the work of a great artist together with the most famous tarot cards in history.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475–1564), best known simply as Michelangelo, has long been regarded as the greatest artist of the Italian Renaissance, while having a tremendous influence on artists and scholars ever since. That said, this tarot deck is dedicated to Michelangelo's sketches, drawings and lesser known works, which were carefully curated by Morena Poltronieri to offer a refreshing glimpse of his subtle brilliance, viewed through the lens of Tarot's Major Arcana. Two exceptions in her objective here would the XXI - World card, which was taken from his infamous painting of the Sistine Chapel. And the other is the portrait in the I - Magician/Mago card which is a tender image of Michelangelo drawn by Daniele da Volterra - a contemporary and friend to the great master. Both cards are shown below. In the sparse but helpful leaflet, each card description shares the location of the artwork along with with a few words by Michelangelo himself, taken from his book Le Rime. The English translation of this text is rather literal and therefore may not convey the inherent poetic Italian rhythms and nuances alas, but it is nevertheless a somewhat useful reference. Images from the Visconti Sforza Tarot Major Arcana were included in each of the Michelangelo Tarot Tribute cards, in order to 'create a deeper synergy.
