Hortus conclusus is both an emble-matic attribute and a title of the Virgin Mary in Medieval and Renais-sance poetryand art, suddenly appearing in paintings and manuscript illuminati-ons about 1330
Medieval artwork often depicted the Annunciation with Mary seated in an enclosed garden, a unicorn leaping into her lap. The Angel Gabriel blows a hunting horn and is accompanied by hounds. The Virgin Mary has long been associated with the "enclosed garden" of the Song of Songs. The hounds chase the unicorn into the lap of the Virgin. Ancient myths about unicorns claimed that only a virgin could tame them. This depiction was popular in the fifteenth century and fell out of use after the Council of Trent
