Five of Swords 1751

"Five of Swords" is a tarot card from a deck of 52 cards designed by French artist Claude Burdel in 1751. The card depicts five swords, four of which are lying on the ground while the fifth stands upright. The swords are arranged in a geometric pattern, which emphasizes the themes of conflict and betrayal often associated with this card. The card's visual composition and imagery are typical of tarot decks from this period, reflecting the style of the time. "Five of Swords" is part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection.
