==History== | |||
In the 1374 [[trionfi]] poem which inspired the creation of the tarot, Time was the name of one of the six original triumphs, which later became The Hermit in subsequent tarot decks. | |||
The painting of Time depicts a carriage carrying a [[seraphim]] angel who looks like a man with a long beard. He is carrying the same staff or crutch he is pictured with in early versions of the Tarot, such as Rosenwald Sheet. The carriage is pulled by three deer with varying stages of horn growth (depicting the passage of time). The audience surrounding the carriage is filled with old people. | |||
