permanent exhibition at The Cloisters, in New York, seven late Gothic tapestries portray the Hunt of the Unicorn. Like the unicorn himself, they are one of the marvels of the world, for in no other work of art anywhere is the pursuit and capture of this magical creature presented in such astonishing detail, with such command of pictorial verisimilitude and symbolic intention. In a duality not rare in the late Middle Ages, the imagery is both secular and religious. The references to love, matrimonial fidelity, and desire for progeny are understandable in an ensemble that may have celebrated a marriage. But the unicorn, at the same time, is Christ, and the compositions reflect the Incarnation, the Passion, and the Resurrection. Gabriel, the angel of the Annunciation, is one of the hunters: the unicorn loses his fierceness in the lap of the Virgin Mary; a thorny crown encircles his horn and neck when he is slain; and then the glorious creature is miraculously alive again and chained to a pomegranate tree, simultaneously an image of the risen Christ and of the lover-bridegroom secured by his adored lady. What patron conceived the extraordinary plan for these hangings, whose earliest record places them in the Paris grande chambre of Duke François VI de La Rochefoucauld in 1680? What artist or artists elaborated the designs to incorporate the many identifiable birds and animals, flowering plants and trees, whose visual charm and implicit meanings make these woven &quot;murals&quot; endlessly fascinating? What workshop, around 1500, had the craftsmen needed to produce such superb hangings? The author, who was a curator at The Cloisters, answers these questions as completely as they may now be answered. In a pleasantly informative style, she conveys all that is known or can be reasonably believed about the commissioning and the manufacture, all that can safely be conjectured about the original owners. The principal indications of the latter are the tapestries&#x27; mysterious AE and FR monograms and the small coat of arms that survives when, seemingly, more conspicuous emblems of royalty or nobility long ago disappeared. As for the unknown designers, they are at least partially identified through the author&#x27;s study of the poses, facial expressions, costumes, and coiffures in the hangings. Illustrating close parallels in Parisian prints and miniature painting of the time, Miss Freeman persuades one that the designers were French or resident in France. The weaving, on the other hand, she narrows to Brussels on the basis of its technical features and high quality. Comprehensive color photography of the tapestries was done especially for this publication, and 44 of the color images are of details essential to the author&#x27;s discussion, ranging from dramatic figure compositions to studies of the rarer plants. This story of the Hunt of the Unicorn is certain to interest anyone who has visited the tapestries and been struck by their unique beauty. Equally, it should prompt others—unicorn-lovers generally and devotees of medieval art in particular—to look forward to this experience."/><link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.webmanifest" crossorigin="use-credentials"/><meta property="og:title" content="The Unicorn Tapestries - The Metropolitan Museum of Art"/><meta property="og:description" content="On permanent exhibition at The Cloisters, in New York, seven late Gothic tapestries portray the Hunt of the Unicorn.

class="tab-drawer_bodyWrapper__qg8iy tab-drawer_divider__uAZwv"><p>On permanent exhibition at The Cloisters, in New York, seven late Gothic tapestries portray the Hunt of the Unicorn. Like the unicorn himself, they are one of the marvels of the world, for in no other work of art anywhere is the pursuit and capture of this magical creature presented in such astonishing detail, with such command of pictorial verisimilitude and symbolic intention.</p><p>In a duality not rare in the late Middle Ages, the imagery is both secular and religious. The references to love, matrimonial fidelity, and desire for progeny are understandable in an ensemble that may have celebrated a marriage. But the unicorn, at the same time, is Christ, and the compositions reflect the Incarnation, the Passion, and the Resurrection. Gabriel, the angel of the Annunciation, is one of the hunters: the unicorn loses his fierceness in the lap of the Virgin Mary; a thorny crown encircles his horn and neck when he is slain; and then the glorious creature is miraculously alive again and chained to a pomegranate tree, simultaneously an image of the risen Christ and of the lover-bridegroom secured by his adored lady.</p><p>What patron conceived the extraordinary plan for these hangings, whose earliest record places them in the Paris <em>grande chambre</em> of Duke François VI de La Rochefoucauld in 1680? What artist or artists elaborated the designs to incorporate the many identifiable birds and animals, flowering plants and trees, whose visual charm and implicit meanings make these woven &quot;murals&quot; endlessly fascinating? What workshop, around 1500, had the craftsmen needed to produce such superb hangings?</p><p>The author, who was a curator at The Cloisters, answers these questions as completely as they may now be answered. In a pleasantly informative style, she conveys all that is known or can be reasonably believed about the commissioning and the manufacture, all that can safely be conjectured about the original owners. The principal indications of the latter are the tapestries&#x27; mysterious AE and FR monograms and the small coat of arms that survives when, seemingly, more conspicuous emblems of royalty or nobility long ago disappeared. As for the unknown designers, they are at least partially identified through the author&#x27;s study of the poses, facial expressions, costumes, and coiffures in the hangings. Illustrating close parallels in Parisian prints and miniature painting of the time, Miss Freeman persuades one that the designers were French or resident in France. The weaving, on the other hand, she narrows to Brussels on the basis of its technical features and high quality.</p><p>Comprehensive color photography of the tapestries was done especially for this publication, and 44 of the color images are of details essential to the author&#x27;s discussion, ranging from dramatic figure compositions to studies of the rarer plants. This story of the Hunt of the Unicorn is certain to interest anyone who has visited the tapestries and been struck by their unique beauty. Equally, it should prompt others—unicorn-lovers generally and devotees of medieval art in particular—to look forward to this experience.</p></div></div></section><section id="met-art-in-publication"

mentioned by the Greek physician Ctesias in the fourth century B.C. In the Middle Ages the animal was best known for its supposed invincibility and for the therapeutic property of its horn. So strong was the belief in the horn's miraculous cures that by the twelfth century the tusks of male narwhals, a small whale native to the Arctic, came to be regarded as \"unicorn horns.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003eThe Unicorn Tapestries, as the group of seven is known, were probably designed in Paris but woven in Brussels. They are first documented in 1680, when they hung in the Paris home of François VI de La Rochefoucauld. By 1728 five of them decorated a bedroom at the family's château in Verteuil, in western France. The tapestries were looted during the French Revolution but were recovered in the 1850s; by 1856 they had been restored and rehung in the château's salon. No documentation sheds light on the early history of the tapestries, including either their commission or sequence of hanging. Striking differences in dimension and composition have prompted scholars to question whether the hangings constitute one set or are, in fact, from multiple sets.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003eThe Hunters Enter the Woods, like The Unicorn in Captivity, is set against a millefleurs background: a field of dark green spangled with blossoming trees and flowers. Of the 101 species of plants represented, 85 have been identified, including the prominent cherry tree behind the hunters and lush date palm in front of the sniffing hound. The cipher \"AE\" that is woven into each of the Unicorn Tapestries—and repeated here five times—alludes to their original owners, who remain unknown.37:T552,The seven individual hangings known as \"The Unicorn Tapestries,\" are among the most beautiful and complex works of art from the late Middle Ages that survive. Luxuriously woven in fine wool and silk with silver and gilded threads, the tapestries vividly depict scenes associated with a"])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1," hunt for the elusive, magical unicorn. \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e\"The Unicorn Rests in a Garden\" may have been created as a single image rather than part of a series. In this instance, the unicorn probably represents the beloved tamed. He is tethered to a tree and constrained by a fence, but the chain is not secure and the fence is low enough to leap over: The unicorn could escape if he wished. Clearly, however, his confinement is a happy one, to which the ripe, seed-laden pomegranates in the tree—a medieval symbol of fertility and marriage—testify. The red stains on his flank do not appear to be blood, as there are no visible wounds like those in the hunting series; rather, they represent juice dripping from bursting pomegranates above. Many of the other plants represented here, such as wild orchid, bistort, and thistle, echo this theme of marriage and procreation: they were acclaimed in the Middle Ages as fertility aids for both men and women. Even the little frog, nestled among the violets at the lower right, was cited by medieval writers for its noisy mating.38:T6da,This manuscript painting presents the Annunciation as a bustling tableau in elegant and refined surroundings. The double-page illumination was originally part of an unfinished book of hours, made for Charles of France. This picture shows his coat of arms while he was duke of Normandy.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003eThe ceremonial aspects of the scene are emphasized by its extended treatment on two manuscript leaves. The kneeling angel Gabriel, bearing his scepter as herald of God, is placed inside a gilded portico on one page facing the golden-haired Virgin seated on a brocaded cushion beneath an elaborate octagonal structure representing the Temple. Gabriel is accompanied by a procession of angels, some playing musical instruments. His words of greeting, \"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee,\" are written in gold, while above, the dove of the Holy Spirit flies toward the Virgin, emanating rays of light.

Also depicted are sculpted figures of prophets and the sibyl who foretold the coming of the Savior. Adam, too, whose sin made necessary the advent of a Redeemer, appears. This juxtaposition places the Annunciation within its theological, rather than narrative, context.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003eThe compositional innovations are enhanced by the virtuoso illusionism. Not only are the sculpted architectural elements and decoration captured in superb naturalism, but the lush representation of the French countryside contains a princely château that can be identified as Mehun-sur-Yèvre. Now in ruins, the château was one of the favorite residences of Jean, duc de Berry, and a place where Charles spent a great part of his youth.39:T60a,Scenes from The Story of the Trojan War: The Battle with the Sagittary and the Conference at Achilles' Tent; Andromache and Priam Urging Hector Not to Go to War, 1470–1490\u003cbr/\u003eSouth Netherlands, probably produced through Pasquier Grenier of Tournai (fl. 1447–93)\u003cbr/\u003eWool warp; wool wefts with a few silk wefts; 52.69: 14 ft. 6 1/2 in. x 13 ft. 1 in.

Among the composition's episodes were the three illustrated here: the fifth battle, in which the centaur, or Sagittary, fought on the side of the Trojans; the conference held in Achilles' tent to arrange single combat between Hector and Menelaus; and Hector arming for war as Andromache and Priam urge him not to go. The legend of the Trojan War had special appeal for the dukes of Burgundy, who claimed Priam, the last king of Troy and the father of Hector and Paris, as an ancestor. In September 1472, Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, received as a gift a set of Trojan War tapestries that were p"])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,"roduced by Pasquier Grenier of Tournai. The Museum's pieces, while probably not part of the original set made for Charles, were likely woven after the same series of cartoons. They are formidable examples of the types of ambitious tapestries produced for the Burgundian court in the Netherlands.3a:T480,The daughter of Emperor Maximilian I, Margaret of Austria was betrothed at the age of three to the infant dauphin Charles, the future Charles VIII, and served briefly as \"queen of France\" from 1483 to 1491. She is shown here around the age of ten, one year before she was repudiated by her intended husband. The initials C and M within the border of Margaret's collar (backwards C in the left border) probably signify their union. The chain of gold shells on her headdress may be part of the armorial insignia of the Bourbon dynasty with which she was then associated. The elaborate pendant of a pelican piercing its breast to draw blood with which to feed its young (the blood represented by the large hanging ruby), a symbol of Christian charity, alludes to the sitter's piety. These elements are mounted on a gold fleur-de-lis. Demonstrably showing her faith, Margaret holds a large gold filagree Paternoster bead of her rosary and looks to the right, presumably toward (what was originally) the object of her devotion. This panel likely formed the left of a diptych, whose right wing, now lost, may have represented a subject from Christ's Passion.3e:{\"fill\":\"currentColor\",\"d\":\"M6.222 6.167h10.89v10.791H6.221V6.167zm15.556 13.875H6.222v1.363h15.556zm0 4.773H6.222v1.364h15.556zm-6.222 4.477H6.222v1.363h9.334z\"}\n3d:[\"$\",\"path\",null,\"$3e\"]\n40:{\"fill\":\"currentColor\",\"fillRule\":\"evenodd\",\"d\":\"M0 0h28v37H0zm3.111 3.083H24.89v30.834H3.11V3.083z\",\"clipRule\":\"evenodd\"}\n3f:[\"$\",\"path\",null,\"$40\"]\n42:{\"event\":\"click_button\",\"Button_Clicked\":\"copy_citation\",\"Content_Type\":\"MetPubs\"}\n"])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,"16:[\"$\",\"main\",null,{\"data-sentry-component\":\"PublicationDetailPage\",\"data-sentry-source-file\":\"page.tsx\",\"children\":[[\"$\",\"$L2e\",null,{\"segments\":[{\"name\":\"MetPublications\",\"path\":\"/met-publications/\"},{\"name\":\"All\",\"path\":\"/met-publications/all/\"},{\"name\":\"The Unicorn Tapestries\",\"path\":\"/met-publications/all/the-unicorn-tapestries\"}],\"data-sentry-element\":\"Breadcrumbs\",\"data-sentry-source-file\":\"page.tsx\"}],[\"$\",\"section\",null,{\"id\":null,\"className\":\"page-section_clampedWidthWrapper__kBLdL\",\"data-sentry-element\":\"PageSection\",\"data-sentry-component\":\"PageSection\",\"data-sentry-source-file\":\"index.jsx\",\"children\":[null,[\"$\",\"div\",null,{\"className\":\"publication-details-box_box__dRKHI\",\"children\":[[\"$\",\"div\",null,{\"className\":\"publication-details-box_imageWrapper__B32n6\",\"children\":[[\"$\",\"div\",null,{\"className\":\"publication-details-box_imageBox__z_LSG\",\"children\":[\"$\",\"$L2c\",null,{\"priority\":true,\"sizes\":\"(max-width: 960px) 85vw, 30vw\",\"image\":{\"asset\":{\"_ref\":\"image-e6419008a76dd36a8d826eed3181bbf78c946c70-250x313-jpg\",\"_type\":\"reference\"},\"palette\":{\"title\":\"#fff\",\"population\":7.06,\"background\":\"#cab9a3\",\"_type\":\"sanity.imagePaletteSwatch\",\"foreground\":\"#000\"},\"url\":\"https://cdn.sanity.io/images/cctd4ker/production/e6419008a76dd36a8d826eed3181bbf78c946c70-250x313.jpg\",\"assetId\":\"image-e6419008a76dd36a8d826eed3181bbf78c946c70-250x313-jpg\",\"_type\":\"image\",\"alt\":\"The Unicorn Tapestries\"},\"className\":\"publication-details-box_image__RhW7c\"}]}],false]}],[\"$\",\"div\",null,{\"className\":\"publication-details-box_publicationText__CwWiF\",\"children\":[false,false,[\"$\",\"h1\",null,{\"style\":{\"margin\":0},\"children\":[\"$\",\"$L2d\",null,{\"data-sentry-element\":\"MarkdownParser\",\"data-sentry-source-file\":\"index.jsx\",\"children\":\"The Unicorn Tapestries\"}]}],[\"$\",\"div\",null,{\"className\":\"publication-details-box_authorText__WeZg9\",\"children\":\"Freeman, Margaret B.\"}],[\"$\",\"div\",null,{\"className\":\"publication-details-box_authorText__WeZg9\",\"children\":\"1976\"}],[\"$\",\"div\",null,{\"className\":\"publication-details-box_additionalDetails__tJaHx\",\"children\":[[\"$\",\"div\",null,{\"children\":[244,\" pages\"]}],[\"$\",\"div\",null,{\"children\":[306,\" illustrations\"]}],[\"$\",\"div\",null,{\"children\":\"9.5 x 12 in\"}]]}],false,[\"$\",\"$L2f\",null,{\"publication\":{\"_rev\":\"aqoly2OlphftVMTTVeY0oN\",\"artworks\":[467637,467638,467639,467640,467653,467654,467641,467642,338300,471316,436052,338304,437892,436988,468558,463684,471417,437059,437490,471840,467680,338288,459072],\"citationChicago\":[{\"_type\":\"block\",\"style\":\"normal\",\"_key\":\"16c532274060\",\"markDefs\":[],\"children\":[{\"_type\":\"span\",\"marks\":[],\"text\":\"Freeman, Margaret Beam. 1976. \",\"_key\":\"16c5322740600\"},{\"text\":\"The Unicorn tapestries\",\"_key\":\"16c5322740601\",\"_type\":\"span\",\"marks\":[\"em\"]},{\"_type\":\"span\",\"marks\":[],\"text\":\".

Gabriel, the angel of the Annunciation, is one of the hunters: the unicorn loses his fierceness in the lap of the Virgin Mary; a thorny crown encircles his horn and neck when he is slain; and then the glorious creature is miraculously alive again and chained to a pomegranate tree, simultaneously an image of the risen Christ and of the lover-bridegroom secured by his adored lady.\",\"_key\":\"1ac2cd3d52e10\",\"_type\":\"span\",\"marks\":[]}]},{\"style\":\"normal\",\"_key\":\"808497ec4f15\",\"markDefs\":[],\"children\":[{\"_type\":\"span\",\"marks\":[],\"text\":\"What patron conceived the extraordinary plan for these hangings, whose earliest record places them in the Paris \",\"_key\":\"808497ec4f150\"},{\"_type\":\"span\",\"marks\":[\"em\"],\"text\":\"grande chambre\",\"_key\":\"808497ec4f151\"},{\"_type\":\"span\",\"marks\":[],\"text\":\" of Duke François VI de La Rochefoucauld in 1680?

Most of her figure is missing, the result of damage incurred after the tapestries were looted in 1793.
