    I own several PDR prints and have also given them as gifts. The attention to detail never disappoints! This is true from the curation to the artifact that you receive in the mail. Highly recommended.

    Prints arrived relatively quickly and were of very high quality.

    Just gorgeous prints - I’ve ordered around four over the years and they’re honestly faultless. Huge recommendation.

    I ordered a bunch of framed prints as gifts, and one for myself. I love them, I want more, wish my whole house was salon-style pictures from PDR.

    I got a framed Munch print as a Christmas gift for my brother. The print was beautiful with super clear resolution and the framing was immaculate.

    Stunning prints in excellent quality. I could not be happier with the results. I will continue to fill my home with art from PDR’s prints shop.

    The PDR print shop is an excellent resource for unusual and unique prints from every era and style. They are beautifully executed, and arrive quickly. My highest recommendation!

    I’m addicted to these prints. The quality is exceptional and if you’re a fan of the PDR, then these are a no-brainer. I’ve got a small collection now. They also make for excellent, original gifts.

    The seventh and final scene from the "Unicorn Tapestries", one of the most spectacular but enigmatic surviving artworks of the late Middle Ages. Depicting a unicorn hunt, in the penultimate tapestry in the series the unicorn is eventually killed. In this last, however, the unicorn is shown alive and well, and entirely tamed. He is fenced in and chained to a tree, but the chain is less than secure and the fence is low. He has submitted to his captivity. The red stains on his flank, in the words of the Met’s catalog, “do not appear to be blood, as there are no visible wounds like those in the hunting series; rather, they represent juice dripping from bursting pomegranates” — a medieval symbol of marriage and fertility. In the resurrection element there is also a clear parallel with the story of Jesus. (Image source: The Metropolitan Museum)
