FRENCH VERSION
Enigmatic, fascinating, the unicorn crosses centuries and cultures, oscillating between dreamed reality and spiritual or popular symbol. This catalogue offers a clear and thorough exploration of this familiar and unknown pattern. For this he relies on more than 175 major works from Antiquity to contemporary art - illuminated manuscripts, medieval tapestries, Renaissance paintings, objects of cabinets of curiosity...
The book combines scholarship and wonder, revealing how the unicorn, in turn wise, fierce, sensual or healing, reflects the beliefs, knowledge and dreams of each era. It offers a journey through 2 500 years of history of images and ideas, where art and legend blend to revive the most elusive of creatures. A reference tool for both art lovers and the curious general public.
Exhibition at the Musée de Cluny from March 10th to July 12th, 2026.
