EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the tapestry "The Lady and the Unicorn: To my only desire" by the French School in the 15th century. The artwork, housed in the Musee National du Moyen Age et des Thermes de Cluny in Paris, transports us to a world of medieval enchantment. In this particular scene, we witness an exquisite moment as "The Lady" delicately holds a unicorn while standing beside a fruit tree. Her gaze is fixed upon an open chest filled with an array of dazzling jewelry, symbolizing her freedom to choose. A maid stands nearby, ready to assist her mistress in making her selection. This image evokes feelings of mystery and intrigue as it combines elements of Renaissance art with mythical creatures. The unicorn, often associated with purity and grace, adds an air of magic and wonder to the composition. As we delve into this piece's rich symbolism, we are reminded of ancient myths and pagan beliefs that celebrated polytheism. The presence of religious motifs hints at deeper spiritual connections within this narrative. Through Bridgeman Images' expert photography skills, every intricate detail comes alive on this print. It serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a portal into centuries past where legends intertwine with human desires.
