Woven Cotton Blanket - Medieval Unicorn by Printagrams

Image
101.85 USD The Unicorn in Captivity The seven individual hangings known as "The Unicorn Tapestries," are among the most beautiful and complex works of art from the late Middle Ages that survive. Luxuriously woven in fine wool and silk with silver and gilded threads, the tapestries vividly depict scenes associated with a hunt for the elusive, magical unicorn. "The Unicorn in Captivity" may have been created as a single image rather than part of a series. In this instance, the unicorn probably represents the beloved tamed.

Vintage Monochrome Vintage Floral Ink - Ornamental Art Nouveau - Tree Symmetry - Vintage Black and Beige Print by DesignBohemian

Image
ICYMI: 29.70 USD Art Nouveau is characterized by its distinctive undulating asymmetrical line, which frequently emulates the graceful curves of flower stalks, budding blooms, winding vine tendrils, delicate insect wings, and other sinuous elements found in nature. This line, whether exuding elegance and grace or possessing a dynamic and forceful whip-like energy, serves as the primary decorative feature of Art Nouveau. In the realm of graphic arts, this line takes precedence over all other visual elements such as form, texture, space, and color, subordinating them to its own ornamental effect.
