Striking 20th Century tapestry from Belgium.
This tapestry is known as the lady and the unicorn. The lady and the unicorn tapestry represents taste, one of six tapestries in the lady and the unicorn series, after the 16th Century originals.
Nicely aged with light wear though colours remain strong and vibrant. Ready to hang via a series of hooks to the reverse. The Lady and the Unicorn (French: La Dame à la licorne) is the modern title given to a series of six tapestries created in the style of millefleurs ("thousand flowers") and woven in Flanders from wool and silk, from designs ("cartoons") drawn in Paris around 1500.
The set, on display in the Musée de Cluny in Paris, is often considered one of the greatest works of art of the Middle Ages in Europe. Five of the tapestries are commonly interpreted as depicting the five senses – taste, hearing, sight, smell, and touch. The sixth displays the words "À mon seul désir". The tapestry's intended meaning is obscure but has been interpreted as representing love or understanding.
