Theologia (Theology) is a 1465 ink by Master of the E-Series Tarocchi, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a woman standing in front of a large sphere, which is covered in stars. She is wearing a long robe and has her hair styled in an updo. The woman is holding a piece of fabric in her arms. The woman's facial expression is neutral, and her body language suggests a sense of calmness. The sphere behind her appears to be made of a smooth, white material, and the stars on its surface are evenly spaced and symmetrical. This engraving is reminiscent of the work of artists who used cross-hatching techniques during the Renaissance period.
Master of the E-Series Tarocchi (b. 1400) was an Italian artist.
