The Lady with the Unicorn
The "Lady with the Unicorn" series of six tapestries
were woven in the Loire valley during the late 15th century. Five of the
tapestries represent the five senses and the sixth is thought to be a dedication
to the recipient of these. These are are among the most famous
tapestries in the world and are exhibited in the Cluny Museum, Paris.
The tapestry below is a copy of one of these and
represents the sense of smell.
