EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Curtain of the Lady of the Unicorn" tapestry, a masterpiece created by the Flemish School in the 15th century. The tapestry depicts a young woman holding a mirror, surrounded by enchanting creatures such as a lion, unicorn, monkey, and rabbits. Crafted from wool and silk between 1484 and 1500 at Chateau de Boussac in Creuse, this magnificent artwork measures an impressive 3.7x4.7 meters. Currently housed at the National Museum of the Middle Ages in Paris within Thermes de Cluny, this tapestry is truly a sight to behold. Its intricate details and vibrant colors transport viewers back to medieval times when allegorical art held great significance. The lady's gaze fixed on her reflection in the mirror suggests themes of self-reflection and vanity while being observed by various animals symbolizing different virtues or qualities. The presence of lions represents strength and courage, unicorns signify purity and gracefulness, monkeys represent playfulness or mischief, while rabbits may allude to fertility or innocence. Through its botanical motifs and rich symbolism intertwined with beauty accessories like mirrors, this artwork offers profound insights into French culture during that era. Thanks to Photo Josse's stunning photography skills capturing every intricate detail with precision; we can now appreciate this extraordinary piece even if we cannot witness it firsthand at Musee National du Moyen Age et des Thermes de Cluny in Paris.
