The unicorn has stimulated the imagination like no other animal. It has been documented in many cultures for centuries. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFascination with it continues to this day. While it might have been appropriated as a cute toy or pop culture icon, the history of the unicorn as a symbol is profound and multi-layered— in Western and non-European art, in religion and mythology, in literature, natural science, and medicine. Contributions by Adrien Bossard, Béatrice de Chancel-Bardelot, Barbara Drake Boehm, Séverine Lepape, Michael Philipp, Annabelle Ténèze and Stefan Trinks trace the unicorn back to the ancient world, to medieval manuscripts, altarpieces, sculptures, cabinets of curiosities, and tapestries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the nineteenth century, artists such as Arnold Böcklin, René Magritte, and Rebecca Horn have rediscovered the mythical creature for themselves. For the first time, this publication presents a comprehensive summary of the unicorn’s artistic journey from the second millennium BCE to the present day, situating it in the context of art and cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55476776468824,"sku":"9783791376127","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783791376127_4c6c023a-398c-4e14-9aeb-ceff5a39719e.jpg?v=1779516052","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/unicorn-13","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
