EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Tapestry of the Dame with the unicorn; 'a mon seul desir'" from the Flemish school, which is lovingly preserved in the Muse du Moyen-Age de Cluny in Paris, France. The tapestry itself is a masterpiece of International Gothic art, dating back to the late Middle Ages between 1484 and 1500. The photograph was taken around 1920-1930 by Alinari, Fratelli from Alinari, capturing every intricate detail of this remarkable artwork. The tapestry depicts a scene filled with symbolism and mystery. In its center stands a majestic dame adorned in an elaborate gown, surrounded by lush vegetation and towering trees that create an enchanting backdrop. A mythical creature resembling a lion rests at her feet, adding an element of fantasy to this already mesmerizing composition. The tent-like structure behind her suggests a sense of housing or shelter while also serving as architectural typology for landscapes during this period. The dame's attire reflects fashion and clothing styles prevalent during the Middle Ages, showcasing intricate details that were meticulously woven into the fabric. This work evokes a sense of literature and fiction through its storytelling qualities. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece captured through time by Alinari's lens, we are transported back to Europe's first millennium where gothic art flourished. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements throughout history. This print not only captures the essence of this magnificent tapestry but also invites us to appreciate its beauty within our own homes or personal spaces. It is truly an awe-inspiring work that continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation.
