A tour de force of history and imagination, The Lady and the Unicorn is Tracy Chevalierâs answer to the mystery behind one of the art worldâs great masterpiecesâa set of bewitching medieval tapestries that hangs today in the Cluny Museum in Paris. They appear to portray the seduction of a unicorn, but the story behind their making is unknownâuntil now.
Paris, 1490. A shrewd French nobleman commissions six lavish tapestries celebrating his rising status at Court. He hires the charismatic, arrogant, sublimely talented Nicolas des Innocents to design them. Nicolas creates havoc among the women in the houseâmother and daughter, servant, and lady-in-waitingâbefore taking his designs north to the Brussels workshop where the tapestries are to be woven. There, master weaver Georges de la Chapelle risks everything he has to finish the tapestriesâhis finest, most intricate workâon time for his exacting French client. The results change all their livesâlives that have been captured in the tapestries, for those who know where to look.
In The Lady and the Unicorn, Tracy Chevalier weaves fact and fiction into a beautiful, timeless, and intriguing literary tapestryâan extraordinary story exquisitely told.
