EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned "La Dame a la Licorne Tapestry Series" from Brussels, created around 1480. Displayed in the Musee national du Moyen Age (formerly Musee de Cluny) in Paris, these tapestries are widely regarded as one of the most exceptional works of art from the Middle Ages in Europe. The image captures a lush garden scene, where a majestic tree stands tall amidst vibrant flora and fauna. A group of women, dressed elegantly in medieval attire, gather beneath its branches. The rich brown hues add warmth to this enchanting tableau. Intriguingly, one woman holds a flag adorned with mythical creatures and symbols that evoke ancient mythology and folklore. Among them is a prominent unicorn—a legendary creature believed to possess magical properties. This photograph transports us back to the 15th century when skilled artisans meticulously crafted these tapestries by hand. It serves as an artifact of immense historical significance, offering us insight into the artistic prowess and cultural imagination of that era. Renowned photographer CM Dixon has masterfully captured this portrait-like image with great attention to detail. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the intricate symbolism embedded within each thread of these remarkable tapestries.
