EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th century artwork, titled "Woman with Unicorn" or alternatively "St. Justine (?) as a Personification of Chastity," is an anonymous masterpiece believed to have originated from the Dutch or Low Countries artistic school. The oil on canvas painting, dating back to approximately 1510, showcases a woman in allegorical form, seated on the ground with a mythical unicorn. The woman, often identified as St. Justina of Padua or St. Justine, is depicted in a serene and pious pose, her hands folded in prayer, while the unicorn, a mythological creature symbolizing purity and innocence, rests its head gently on her lap. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to a time when mythology and religious symbolism intertwined in the rich tapestry of European culture. This painting, now a cherished part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is a testament to the enduring allure of allegory and the power of art to evoke emotion and inspire the imagination.
