Is that a real deck on "Carnivale"?

Hello, I was watching the new HBO series "Carnivale" yesterday and in the opening credits they show cards with titles like "Judgement" & "Ace of Swords" but the pictures are different famous paintings (not even all the same period, let alone artist). Temperance is a Bruegel painting and I'm pretty sure the King of Swords was a raphael of the Angel Michael (it might be DaVinci) and one of the cards was a Bosch. I know there is a Bosch and a DaVinci Tarot, but does this deck in their credits with tye various artists exist or was it put together for the show? -nina

Do a search on the word Carnivale, in the title of postings, there's two short discussions on it in 'tarot decks' and one in 'talking tarot'. I believe the deck in the show was one made up specifically for the show & is a prop, not a real deck.
