Iconography of tarot cards, named Tarot of Mantegna
Skopalová, Eva ; Konečný, Lubomír (advisor) ; Purš, Ivo (referee)
The Iconography of Tarot Cards Known as the Mantegna Tarot Eva Skopalová Abstract: The text deals with a general idea of The So-Called Tarocchi of Mantegna. Individual sheets of the whole game are grouped by decades with letters E, D, C, B, A, and the total number of sheets is fifty. Each level of the system corresponds to a level of the universe in a way it was comprehended by a Renaissance man in the late 15th century in Northern Italy. The text brings out the idea of each level and the general idea of the whole system as well. I am connecting the system with thoughts of Raymond Lulle, which was an important element in thoughts of Nicolas of Cusa, who is considered to be a major creator of the idea of the ensemble. Subsequently, the reference of cards is dealt as the second life of the ensemble, firstly in the context of thoughts of Marsilio Ficino, but also as an idea of educative games of the 18th and 19th centuries.

This diploma thesis consists of two basic parts. The theoretical part, which you hold in your hands just now, and the practical part, which you can find in reduced ver-sion in the image supplement of this work and whose originals will be presented by the day of the diploma thesis defence session. In practical part of my work I have created a full collection of the whist cards using coloured lino-cut technology. In the theoretical concomitant of the art part I wrote about the history and the pre-sent of card games. You can find there informations about origin of cards, about their journey and spreading to the continental Europe, about cards in the Czech countries and about contemporary world of cards. I also wrote about kinds of cards, especially whist cards (they have separate chapter), about card games (games played in our area and games played with whist cards above all), about technology of card production and about their players. I dedicated one whole chapter to talk about practical realization of my whist cards collection, where I cleared up the choice of the theme, creation of con-crete figures and colours used.
