The Unicorn is Killed and Brought to the Castle
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that depicts a significant moment in Netherlandish art. This monumental tapestry, measuring 368.3 x 388.6 cm, showcases the hunt of a mythical creature with both secular and religious symbolism. Believed to have been designed in Paris but woven in Brussels, this masterpiece from the 16th century tells an allegorical tale through its intricate details. The death of the unicorn serves as an allegory for the crucifixion, blending elements of Christian iconography with medieval folklore. The tapestry was looted from the chateau at Verteuil during the French Revolution, adding another layer of historical significance to its story. It portrays aristocrats engaging in a pursuit alongside their hounds while capturing this magical creature. The composition features lush landscapes adorned with trees, flowers, and thorns that create a mystical ambiance fitting for such mythical subject matter. The wounded unicorn's horn stands out prominently amidst spears and lances wielded by hunters. This artwork not only reflects society's fascination with unicorns during the Middle Ages but also explores themes of nobility, passion, and symbolism within aristocratic circles. Its rich colors and meticulous weaving make it an exquisite wall hanging that transports viewers back to a time when magic intertwined seamlessly with everyday life. "The Unicorn is Killed and Brought to the Castle" remains an enduring testament to Netherlandish craftsmanship and storytelling prowess—a true gem housed within New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
