“The Lady and the Unicorn” by Tracy Chevalier. Published
both by Harper Collins and Plume Books in 2004. Paris and
Brussels in the year 1490. Jean Le Viste is a shrewd
French nobleman who is very close to the King. He
commissions six elaborate tapestries to celebrate his
rising status at court. Nicholas des Innocents is the
artist he has chosen to design these works but he has only
created miniature portraits so far. This would be a great
achievement for him to accomplish. In Brussels the well
know weaver Georges de la Chapelle takes on the biggest
challenge of his career so far being forced by his
impatient new client to finish the tapestries in record
time. The Lady and the Unicorn is a historical fiction
novel which tells a story behind the making of the six
tapestries. Tracy Chevalier is also the author of the Girl
With the Pearl Earring which was made into a movie
starring Scarlett Johanson.
