EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tapestry panel depicting the Hunt of the Unicorn, created by the Swiss School in the 16th century. Measuring 58.4x60.9 cm, this exquisite artwork is composed of wool, silk, metal, and gold threads that bring to life a scene filled with angelic figures and mythical creatures. The tapestry panel portrays a female figure leading a pack of hunting dogs through an enchanting landscape. The intricate weaving technique used in this piece highlights the skill and artistry of its creators. Every detail, from the flowing fabrics worn by the woman to the majestic horns adorning the unicorns' heads, is meticulously crafted. It is believed that this particular tapestry panel was once part of a longer composition due to its size and design similarities with another piece (46.40). The Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland proudly houses this extraordinary artwork as part of their collection. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to an era where myth and reality intertwined seamlessly on woven fabric. This tapestry serves as a testament to both human creativity and our fascination with mystical beings like unicorns – creatures that have captivated our imaginations throughout history.
