유니콘 사냥

1495–1505
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 17
이 태피스트리는 전설의 유니콘이 등장하는 클로이스터스 소장 7매의 태피스트리 중 하나로서 말과 비슷한 상상의 동물이 분수대 아래에 무릎을 꿇고 앉아 분수대에서 흘러 나오는 물에 긴 뿔을 적시고 있는 장면을 보여줍니다. 꿩 한 쌍과 장박새 한 쌍이분수대 가장자리에 앉아 있습니다. 사슴과 토끼는 사자 등 야생동물과 함께 초목 사이에서 쉬고 있습니다. 12명의 사냥꾼과 사냥개가 동물들을 공격하기 위해 에워싸고 있습니다. 세이지와 오렌지 등 해독제로 간주되는 식물이 유니콘의 마법의 뿔에 의해 정화된 물이 흐르는 개울을 따라 무성하게 자라고 있습니다. 클로이스터스에 소장된 일곱 장의 태피스트리에는 각기 영문자 A와 E가 적혀 있는데 이 태피스트리를 처음 소유했던 부부의 이니셜인 것 같습니다.
