The Hunters Enter the Woods
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the intricate beauty of "The Unicorn Tapestries". Created by the Netherlandish School in the 16th century, this remarkable piece measures an impressive 368.3 x 315 cm and can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This tapestry, believed to have been designed in Paris but woven in Brussels, depicts a scene from a hunt for the mythical unicorn. Combining both secular and religious imagery, it reveals that the unicorn symbolizes Christ. The tapestries were unfortunately looted from Chateau de Verteuil during the French Revolution. The print highlights not only the religious symbolism but also showcases elements of nature and aristocratic life during medieval times. The lush landscape with its towering trees and vibrant flora sets a magical backdrop for this pursuit. Aristocrats on horseback are seen wielding spears and lances while accompanied by their loyal hounds. Every detail of this weaving masterpiece comes to life through wool warp with wool, silk, silver, and gilt wefts. It captures not just a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when nobility reveled in hunting as both sport and status symbol. "The Hunters Enter the Woods" is more than just a wall hanging; it is an exquisite work of art that transports us back to an enchanting world where myth meets reality, inviting us to explore its rich symbolism and appreciate its timeless beauty.
