A masterpiece of medieval European art, The Sense of Taste is one of the six celebrated tapestries from The Lady and the Unicorn series, a remarkable Franco-Flemish creation woven around the turn of the 16th century. Renowned for its symbolism, elegance, and extraordinary craftsmanship, the series is widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements in the history of textile art.
 
In this enchanting scene, a noble lady delicately selects a sweet from a dish presented by her maidservant, symbolizing the sense of taste. She is accompanied by the iconic lion and unicorn, whose presence throughout the series reinforces its allegorical and heraldic significance. The graceful figures, luxurious attire, and refined gestures reflect the sophistication of medieval courtly culture.
 
Set against a rich crimson background, the composition is adorned with the celebrated mille-fleurs (“thousand flowers”) style, featuring a profusion of delicate blossoms, lush foliage, and charming woodland creatures. This intricate decorative landscape creates a dreamlike atmosphere while showcasing the exceptional artistry of late medieval weaving.
 
Inspired by the original wool and silk tapestries preserved in the Musée de Cluny in Paris, The Lady and the Unicorn – The Sense of Taste remains a timeless symbol of beauty, refinement, and artistic excellence.
