EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Unicorn in Captivity" a remarkable tapestry created by the Netherlandish School during the 16th century. Measuring an impressive 368x51.5 cm, this artwork is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. Believed to have been designed in Paris but woven in Brussels, The Unicorn Tapestries depict the mythical unicorn's hunt using imagery that combines both secular and religious elements. Interestingly, it portrays the unicorn as a representation of Christ himself. These extraordinary tapestries were unfortunately looted from the chateau at Verteuil during the tumultuous French Revolution. However, they have found their rightful place within one of America's most prestigious art institutions. In this particular scene captured by Bridgeman Images, we see a lush landscape filled with symbolic trees and vibrant flora. The hunters are depicted alongside their loyal dogs as they pursue and capture this magical creature known for its single horn and association with purity. With its intricate weaving technique utilizing wool warp along with wool, silk, silver, and gilt wefts, this wall hanging exemplifies both artistic skill and storytelling prowess. It transports us back to medieval times when myths and legends played significant roles in people's lives. Immerse yourself in this enchanting piece that beautifully merges religion, nature symbolism, hunting traditions of nobility from centuries past into one mesmerizing composition - truly a testament to human creativity throughout history.
