The unicorn tapestries are one of the most popular attractions
at The Cloisters, the medieval branch of The Metropolitan Museum of
Art. Traditionally known as "The Hunt of the Unicorn," " "this set
of seven exquisite and enigmatic tapestries was likely completed
between 1495 and 1505. The imaginatively conceived
scenes--displaying individualized faces of the hunters and
naturalistically depicting the flora and fauna of the
landscape--are beautifully captured in silk, wool, and metal
yarns.
Written by one of the world's leading authorities on medieval
textiles and illustrated with many lovely color reproductions, "The
Unicorn Tapestries "traces the origins of the tapestries as well as
possible interpretations of their symbolic meaning. This is an
essential book for any lover of medieval art and textiles.
