EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from "The Lady and the Unicorn: Sight" tapestry, created by the French School in the 15th century. Housed at the Musee National du Moyen Age et des Thermes de Cluny in Paris, this masterpiece showcases an enchanting scene where The Lady is accompanied by a majestic unicorn. In this particular section of the tapestry, we witness The Lady standing gracefully amidst a lush green landscape adorned with a holly tree. Her gaze is fixed upon a mirror held delicately in her hand, symbolizing her ability to perceive and understand what lies before her. Two rabbits playfully frolic at her feet, adding an element of whimsy to the composition. The inclusion of animals such as rabbits and unicorns adds an air of mysticism and mythology to this artwork. These mythological creatures were often associated with paganism and polytheism during medieval times when religious beliefs were diverse. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors, this textile art piece not only celebrates femininity but also explores themes of perception, spirituality, and mythical creatures. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations even today. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate every nuance of this remarkable artwork while offering us glimpses into centuries-old traditions and stories that continue to captivate our imagination.
