EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned tapestry known as "Curtain of the Lady of the Unicorn (Lady of the Unicorn): 'the taste'". Created between 1484 and 1500, this magnificent wool and silk masterpiece is a product of the Flemish School from the 15th century. The tapestry depicts a young woman surrounded by enchanting creatures such as a lion, a unicorn, a monkey, and rabbits. In this scene, we witness a servant offering her a cup, adding an element of intrigue to the narrative. The dimensions of this remarkable artwork measure at an impressive 3.7x4.7 meters. Originally housed in Chateau de Boussac in Creuse, France, it now finds its home at the National Museum of Middle Ages in Paris within Thermes de Cluny. This photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail and vibrant color present in this historical piece. The symbolism behind each element portrayed adds depth to its meaning - from botanical references to allegorical representations. The lady's connection with nature is evident through various elements like trees and birds surrounding her. As you admire this image captured by Photo Josse, allow yourself to be transported back to medieval times when tapestries were not only decorative but also served as storytelling devices for their viewers.
