” Unicorn in Captivity ” is the final tapestry panel in the La Chasse à la Licorne series . La Chasse à la Licorne is a series of seven tapestries produced between 1495 and 1505, marking the arrival of the Renaissance in France. Seven scenes of venery depict, in stages, the pikes of a squire pursuing and then capturing a unicorn to bring it to his lord’s court. The pieces were originally woven by workshops in Belgium. They were probably commissioned by the French queen Anne de Bretagne for her third marriage, to Louis d’Orléans, a few years before the six tapestries of La Dame à la licorne were made. During the French Revolution, the tapestries were seized as national property. In 1922, American oil magnate John Davison Rockefeller acquired them in France for around ten million dollars. He donated them to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1937. Today, they are exhibited in New York at the Cloister Museum. The reproduction of this tapestry we offer for sale below uses a weaving process that guarantees a top-of-the-range product, with a fine weave.
