The Hunt of the Unicorn
''The Hunt of the Unicorn'', or the ''Unicorn Tapestries'', is a series of seven tapestries dating from between 1495 and 1505,〔 now in The Cloisters in New York, probably woven in Brussels or Liège. The tapestries show a group of noblemen and hunters in pursuit of a unicorn. The ''Hunt for the Unicorn'' was a common theme in late medieval and renaissance works of art and literature. The tapestries were woven in wool, metallic threads, and silk. The vibrant colors, still evident today, were produced from dye plants: weld (yellow), madder (red), and woad (blue).〔(How the tapestries came to the Met ) at metmuseum.org〕 One of the panels, ''The Mystic Capture of the Unicorn'', only survives in two fragments.
==History==
The tapestries are subject to scholarly debate about the iconography, the artists who designed the tapestries, and questions surrounding the sequence they were meant to be hung. Possibly the seven tapestries were not originally hung together.
It was posited by James J. Rorimer in 1942 that they were commissioned by Anne of Brittany,〔(The Unicorn Tapestries were made for Anne of Brittany (PDF) )〕 to celebrate her marriage to Louis XII, King of France.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tapestry in the Renaissance: Art and Magnificence )〕 However Margaret B. Freeman refutes this fairly convincingly in her monograph of 1976, a conclusion which is supported by Adolph S. Cavallo in his 1998 work.
