Comprised of imagery from the European masters paintings, these cards pay tribute to artwork of the Middle ages and early Renaissance celebrating the exploration of Tarot and its artistic heritage, such as the Visconti-Sforza_tarot_deck.

Golden Tarot was created by Australian artist-author Kat Black and published by US Games Systems in 2004 with a 90 page companion book (ISBN 1-57281-434-9). The deck was created by digitally collaging European artwork from 1300 - 1500AD, largely in the International Gothic style.

Golden Tarot has 78 cards and follows the ordering system of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, with thirteen cards in suits Cups, Coins (Pentacles), Swords and Wands and Major Arcana as follows:
