Russian Tarot of St. Petersburg was painted by Yury Shakov, an artist renowned for his lacquer miniatures and flawless depictions of Russian folk and fairy tales.

This stunning 78-card deck reflects not only his superb style and artistic expertise, but also his original interpretations of the tarot, presenting traditional tarot archetypes through the imagery of Russian history and culture. The miniature paintings in vivid colors are set on black fields framed within oval borders, reminiscent of Imperial Fabergé eggs.  

About the Author - Born in Baku, Azerbajian in 1937, Yury Shakov studied art in Moscow and Palekh. His artworks are owned by many private collections and by the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.

    The dark background and heavy framing make this beautiful deck a subtle and relaxing experience of Russian culture. Be aware of a couple of modern touches: the Devil has a face resembling Stalin, and the World card has a painting of the Earth from space as the background to the traditional female figure of Prudence. A nice deck and a must have for admirers of Shakov.
