 * The Unicorn Tapestries **


 * The Unicorn Tapestries are a series of seven tapestries made from 1495 to 1505, they represent the hunters going out into the woods, the hunters finding the unicorn, the hunters attacking the unicorn, the unicorn defending itself an **** d the unic **** orn being killed an **** d the hunters delivering it back to the castle. They were believed to be made in the southern Netherlands, commissioned by Anne of Brittany to celebrate her marriage to king Louis of France, however, this has not been proven but it seems the most likely reason. One of the tapestries called the Mystic Capture of the Unicorn survives only in two parts. The restoration began in 1998, with the help of the Chudnovsky brothers, two mathematicians. **
