Product specs

Unicorn: The Mythical Beast in Art follows the unicorn’s place in visual culture from the ancient world to the present. Rather than treating it only as a familiar fantasy creature, the book considers its symbolism in art, religion, literature and the history of ideas.

Essays by art and cultural historians examine manuscripts, altarpieces, sculpture, tapestries and later works by artists such as Arnold Böcklin, René Magritte and Rebecca Horn. The selection brings Western and non-European traditions into a wide-ranging illustrated account of a long-lived myth.
