In several passages of his commentaries on Plato and Plotinus, Marsilio Ficino outlines a diagram of the masculine reproductive system conceived as the vector of seminal power, from intelligence towards the physical world. This article aims at showing that this representation, combined with iconographical elements borrowed from illustrations of Petrarch's Triumphs and the tradition of the Dance of Death, probably inspired the figure of a skeleton armed with a scythe that illustrates the thirteenth trump card of the tarot of Marseille.
