The Lady and the Unicorn Tapestry: A Medieval Masterpiece Reimagined
At Touch of Tapestry, we celebrate one of the most iconic works of medieval art: the Lady and the Unicorn tapestry. This legendary six-panel series, created in the late 15th century, continues to inspire awe with its intricate designs and deep symbolism.
What Is the Lady and the Unicorn?
Also known as The Lady and the Unicorn, this tapestry collection is a stunning representation of the five senses—Taste, Smell, Sight, Hearing, and Touch—along with a mysterious sixth panel titled À mon seul désir. Originally housed at the Cluny Museum in Paris, these tapestries have become timeless symbols of beauty, mythology, and feminine mystique.
The Unicorn in Captivity: A Symbol of Mystery and Desire
Among the most celebrated unicorn tapestries in history is the unicorn in captivity tapestry. This powerful image of a unicorn in captivity—serene and surrounded by a fence and blooming garden—has been interpreted as a symbol of purity, love, and spiritual awakening.
