The Unicorn in Captivity
The seventh tapestry of the series, The Hunt of the Unicorn
Probably Flemish, about 1500
From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Cloisters Collection


When I lived near NYC, I used to spend entire days wandering around The Cloisters, hoping they'd forget about me at closing time so that I could live there for just one night. This was my favorite thing there.
 
I know that you are not talking to me, but since I've already ingratiated myself with the Moz community by posting Mr. Wimpy, I now follow with Bruegel the Elder's The Hunters in the Snow. ;)

well, since the moz community is reasonable (at least on occasion, and this can be considered one of them), we will just give this one the benefit of the doubt that troll(s) is/are the quarry...........

"My works represent moments, parts of life, introspectives, moments with oneself, but also memories, dreams... My sources of inspiration are different, but for the main part the human being is present: lonely stroller, dancing barefooted or wandering around city centres, he is the guardian of the memory, this memory which crosses the history and the writings. Men and women, who find themselves immersed in their thoughts, in their everyday worries, the bodies are distended in the space, absorbed in their states of mind. I use the words as graphic support, carrier of ideals or messages, of thoughts, this are visual elements, re-mountings which create an effect of material, of texture. Through my work I try to express these anxieties and thoughts about life, about the human nature, by nourishing myself with journeys, meetings, everyday life, wherever I am and wherever I will go, because I believe that beyond its origins and its culture, the human being travels through the adventure of existence."

(yes, it's clear I'm fond of immaculate conception..)
wolve, I just wanted to point out that the dogma of the 'Immaculate Conception' refers not to the mysteries of the Incarnation, but rather the notion of the Blessed Virgin Mary's being conceived without the taint of original sin.

It has to be a ruler, I've confiscated all her paddles.
