Unicorn Framed Art
One of the most gracious and fascinating legendary animals, the unicorn has been mentioned ever since antiquity. While being differently depicted in framed unicorn art the common thing in all the prints is the spiraled horn that starts from its forehead. FramedArt.com has art prints inspired by ancient Greek drawings and sculptures, but also paintings crafted in the middle ages and over the last centuries.
References to the legendary creature have been made in various cultures and civilizations, ranging from ancient Greeks and Romans, to Hindu. In folklore it is frequently depicted as a white horse with a single horn and it had the reputation of being virtually untamable. Back in the day, people believed that this elusive creature was living in the deep forests and would avoid all contact with human beings. Not surprisingly, most unicorn framed art prints feature the unicorn as a solitary being roaming freely away from civilizations and inhabited places.
Framed Unicorn Art conveys the message that the mythical creature was a symbol of grace and purity, something that is consistent with the legends. Allegedly, only a virgin could capture and tame it, with Domenico Zamieri’s Unicorn painting being a shining example. Even Leonardo da Vinci found the creature intriguing and art lovers will surely appreciate the beauty of its drawing titled Lady with the Unicorn. Rafael Santi has a masterpiece bearing the same name, but he chose to depict the legendary animal in a painting rather than drawing.
