Image description

Probably designed in Paris but woven in Brussels, The Unicorn Tapestries show the hunt of the mythical unicorn using imagery both secular and religious - the unicorn is Christ. The horn-blowing hunter lower left is often thought to represent the Archangel Gabriel. They were looted from the chateau at Verteuil during the French Revolution.
