'''[[Death]]''' is the 13th card in the [[Major Arcana]] in most traditional [[Tarot]] decks. In the 1374 [[trionfi]] poem which inspired the creation of the tarot, Death was the name of one of the six original triumphs.
'''[[Archangel Gabriel]]''' is an [[archangel]] with power to announce [[Yahweh|God's]] will to men. He is mentioned in the [[Bible|Hebrew Bible]], the New Testament, and the Quran. The [[Abrahamic religion]]s all recognize Gabriel as an [[angel]]ic spirit. Many [[Christianity|Christian]] traditions — including Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Anglicanism — also revere Gabriel as a [[saint]].


The painting of Death depicts a carriage carrying a massive black monument of death with a skeletal [[angel]] of death on top. Two black bulls are pulling the carriage backward and the entire surrounding crowd of onlookers are all dead or running away from the approaching bulls. Additional skulls adorn the edges of the painting.


Some decks, such as the [[Tarot of Marseilles]] and [[Visconti-Sforza Tarot]] omit the name from the card, calling it "The Card with No Name", often with the implication of a broader meaning than literal death. There are other decks that title Death as "Rebirth" or "Death-Rebirth."
