Luna (from the Tarocchi, series A: Firmaments of the Universe, #41)

This engraving is part of the Tarocchi group marked with the letter “A”, and named <em>Firmaments of the Universe</em>. This series comprises the seven planets from the classical astronomy (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) and the three celestial spheres that separate them from the Supreme Entity (<em>Prima Causa</em>) from which everything was originated.

Here, <em>Luna </em>(Moon) is personified as a female figure steering a chariot drawn by two horses in the sky and above an imaginary landscape. With her right hand, she holds up a crescent moon.
