  • The Political Function of the Esther Tapestries: on the Image Strategy of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, for His Marriage Ceremony in 1468*
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE （１６３） The Political Function of the Esther Tapestries: On the Image Strategy of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, for his Marriage Ceremony in 1468* Sumiko IMAI 1. The Esther Tapestries and the Duke of Burgundy The Duchy of Burgundy, ruled first by Philip the Bold from a branch of the French Valois family, which reigned from 1363 to 1404, was known for its magnificent court cul- ture.(1) The palaces built everywhere within the Duchy were gorgeously adorned and hosted a great number of magnificent jousts, joyous entries, processions, and feasts. They not only provided aesthetic enjoyment for viewers but also impressed them with the great power of the Dukes of Burgundy.(2) Among numerous ornaments displayed at the palaces, large tap- estries woven with gold and silver threads were particularly striking, powerfully conveying their owners’ wealth and authority. One typical example was the set of Alexander Tapes- tries, depicting the life of the ancient ruler Alexander the Great (356 BC-323 BC).(3) Although the set of Alexander Tapestries is no longer complete, it is believed to have con- sisted of six large tapestries, measuring more than eight meters in width. They were fre- quently on display during meetings and feasts held by the third Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Good, who reigned from 1419 to 1467 (see Fig. 8)(4) and his son Charles the Bold, who became the fourth Duke of Burgundy, reigning from 1467 to 1477 (Fig. 9).(5) They won par- ticularly high praise when exhibited at the palace of the Duke of Burgundy in Paris.

It has baffled scholars for decades. These tapestries are shrouded in mystery, especially considering their commissioner, narratives, and sequence of hanging. However, for whom and how they were made is of little importance for this study. The most crucial question to be asked is: why the unicorn? What was the significance of the unicorn during the late Middle Ages? The goal of this thesis is to explore the evolution of the unicorn throughout the Middle Ages as well as important monarchal figures and central themes of aristocratic society during the period in which the tapestries were woven.

  • The Fruits and Nuts of the Unicorn Tapestries
    1 The Fruits and Nuts of the Unicorn Tapestries Jules Janick and Anna Whipkey INTRODUCTION The unicorn is a mythical beast with the body of a small milk-white horse, a single spiraling horn arising from its forehead, and with cloven hooves and chin whiskers like a male goat. The horn, resembling that of a narwhale, presumably had curative powers that allowed the unicorn to detoxify water. The unicorn became a popular subject in medieval art and is treated with both religious and erotic overtones. The fierce unicorn became both a symbol of the resurrected Christ and a courtly symbol of purity, grace, and love. The animal was fierce and elusive and could only be captured by a virgin who tamed the beast in her lap. Thus, the unicorn became a popular artistic subject in literature, paintings, and tapestries. There are two famous extant tapestries involving the unicorn: The Lady and the Unicorn (six tapestries) dating to the 1480s (Fig. 1) and now located in the Musée de Cluny in Paris, an allegory of the six senses; and The Hunt of the Unicorn (Fig. 2 and front cover) made between 1490 and 1505 (seven tapestries, one in two fragments) located in the Cloisters in Upper Manhattan, a branch of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Lady and the Unicorn series is formal, serene, and static, while the Hunt of the Unicorn is naturalistic, dynamic, and spirited. Both are overwhelmingly beautiful and represent the high point of the tapestry art form. The tapestries have been discussed in a number of works by art historians including Margaret B.

    en la edad media Esta exposición es posible gracias a los generosos préstamos de la colección de Musée de Cluny, musée national du Moyen Âge, París. Esta exposición es presentada por Texas Instruments, con el apoyo adicional de la Marguerite and Robert Hoffman Operating Fund y la Robert Lehman Foundation. El Dallas Museum of Art se financia en parte gracias a la generosidad de los miembros y donadores del DMA, los ciudadanos de Dallas, a través de la Oficina de Asuntos Culturales de la Ciudad de Dallas, y la Comisión de Artes de Texas. rt and nature in the middle ages Arte y naturaleza en la Edad Media Así como la naturaleza formaba parte de la vida de los hombres y mujeres de la época, en el arte medieval europeo se observaba por todos lados. Ya fuera como fuente de materia prima o de inspiración, en la fe cristiana se percibía a la naturaleza como una manifestación de la Creación divina, cuyo todo era más que la suma de las partes. A lo largo de la Alta Edad Media y la Baja Edad Media —entre los siglos v y xv, aproximadamente— las maneras de representar la naturaleza fueron cambiando. Los acercamientos estéticos oscilaban entre la estilización y el realismo, pero también entre el significado simbólico y la atención al detalle. El Románico más temprano daba prioridad a la simplificación gráfica, mientras que el surgimiento de un estilo más naturalista en el siglo xiii llevó a la representación de paisajes realistas en la Baja Edad Media. La muestra Arte y naturaleza en la Edad Media nos invita a descubrir la gran calidad e inventiva del arte medieval al señalar la manera en que los artistas reflejaban el mundo que los rodeaba.
