A Mon Seul Désir represents the last of the six hangings of La Dame à La Licorne. Indeed, this work of art,“La Dame à la licorne”, is a constitution of six hangings dating from the early French Renaissance, evoking an allegory of the five senses and desire. The work’s evocation of the five senses is enriched by the last hanging, A Mon Seul Désir, which depicts the refusal of jewels, testifying to the Lady’s moral strength in mastering the power of her senses. The original tapestry was woven according to models characteristic of an important trend in Parisian art at the end of the 15th century. Today, this large tapestry can be seen in the Musée National du Moyen-Âge at the Hôtel de Cluny in Paris. The“A mon seul désir” tapestry, pictured below, remains the best-known La Dame à la Licorne hanging, although the La Licorne tapestry is also of great interest to Unicorn enthusiasts!
