The Unicorn Tapestries are a remarkable set of six late 15th-century embroideries from France, depicting the legendary hunt of a unicorn. Renowned for their intricate detail, vibrant colors, and use of symbolism, they blend myth and nature, illustrating the unicorn's capture and symbolizing themes like beauty, purity, and the mysteries of love. The tapestries are considered masterpieces of medieval textile art, highlighting the craftsmanship and artistic trends of the time.
