The Maiden and the Unicorn by fantasy artist Scott Gustafson

The Maiden and the Unicorn by Scott Gustafson

  

Over the centuries, contrary meanings have been bestowed upon the unicorn—virtue, sin, chastity, wildness, death and rebirth among them. One aspect of the legend, however, has never been disputed: only a maiden can tame the proud beast. Scott Gustafson explores these myths while offering lively new interpretations in The Maiden and the Unicorn, which has been created in the same wondrously detailed tradition as the extremely popular, sold out print Merlin and Arthur. This enchanted glen is full of symbols explained by Gustafson in a fascinating essay that accompanies each print.
