UNICORN AND LADY AND UNICORN TAPESTRIES
LADY & UNICORN TAPESTRIES
There were six tapestries in the 'The Lady with the Unicorn' series. Woven in about 1511 they feature the arms of Jean le Viste. Each represents one of the senses except for the final 'A Mon Seul Desir'. These 12' high masterpieces were lost until 1844 when the novelist Georges Sands discovered them in Boussac suffering from damage from rats and damp walls. The Cluny Museum in Paris purchased them in 1853, later restoring them. They are now amongst the national treasures of France displayed in their own circular room at the museum.
UNICORN TAPESTRIES
With the exception of "Unicorn2,"the Unicorn in Captivity depicts the last scene in the late 15th century series The Hunt of the Unicorn. Possibly commissioned for the wedding of Louis XII of France and Anne of Brittany. Now in the Metropolitan Cloisters, New York. Woven in France. 80% cotton. All are lined, with a rod pocket for easy hanging.
