EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent tapestry titled "Unicorn" from the renowned La Tenture de saint Etienne collection. The scene depicted in this particular panel is Scene 8: Le corps du martyr expose aux betes, created around the year 1500. Housed in the esteemed Musee national du Moyen Age (Musee de Cluny), this handwoven masterpiece represents an exquisite example of early Netherlandish art. The tapestry's intricate design and vibrant colors are truly mesmerizing. It portrays a mythical unicorn, symbolizing purity and grace, surrounded by lush foliage and delicate flowers. The unicorn stands as a powerful allegory for virtue and innocence within literature and mythology. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this piece combines silk and wool to create a rich texture that adds depth to its imagery. Its fine artistry reflects the exceptional skill of Colijn de Coter, an accomplished Flemish artist known for his mastery of applied arts. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to an era where storytelling through visual art was highly valued. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of such masterpieces that continue to inspire awe centuries later.
