Tarot de Marseille Gassmann

The Bulgarian illustrators Iassen Ghiuselev (the major arcana) and Atanas Atanassov (the minor arcana) were inspired by the great Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci in creating this deck which, through the immortal images of the Italian artist, has a profound symbolic and artistic significance.

The Blue Bird Lenormand deck has an updated design with elegant, classic artwork. The 38-card deck now has extra Gentleman and Lady cards. It features playing card inserts and verses by Stuart Kaplan to assist the reader in interpreting the card meanings. The 40-page instruction booklet includes a brief biography of Mlle. Lenormand and card meanings.

Exploring the history of Tarot, we can find some less known rare and exceptional masterpiece, such as the “Tarocchi Piacentini”. During the Spanish domination of Milan, the Italian Tarot tradition moved outside Lombardy, and placed seeds that grew up later in very beautiful Tarot like this one.
