La Dame À La Licorne

The Lady with the Unicorn owes its fame to the beauty of its compositions, both simple and enigmatic, to the seduction of its colours, to the charm of its female figures accompanied by familiar or fabulous animals, to its backgrounds strewn with a thousand spring flowers. The abundant literature that has been devoted to it for nearly two centuries has developed a number of hypotheses but has also allowed significant progress in the understanding of the six tapestries that make up this admirable hanging.

This book offers a commentary on the hanging in the Musée de Cluny, as well as a synthesis of the advances in the understanding of the six compositions.
