The Unicorn Tapestries, also known as The Hunt of the Unicorn, is a renowned series of tapestries dating back to the late Middle Ages. Created in the late 15th or early 16th century, these tapestries are a remarkable example of medieval art and craftsmanship. The series consists of a set of seven large-scale tapestries depicting various scenes related to the hunt and capture of a mythical unicorn. The tapestries are richly woven with vibrant colors, intricate details, and symbolism. They showcase the medieval fascination with symbolism, allegory, and the pursuit of the divine. The Unicorn Tapestries are not only a testament to the technical skill of the weavers but also a reflection of the medieval fascination with the mystical and the spiritual.
