National Unicorn Day 🦄

The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland. Although a mythical creature that has never actually existed, it has long been a symbol of Scottish heritage and culture.

The unicorn first appeared on the Scottish royal coat of arms in the 12th century, and has since been featured in many works of art and literature.

The unicorn is associated with qualities such as purity, innocence, and power, and is often depicted as a graceful and majestic creature.

As a national symbol, the unicorn represents the unique and magical spirit of Scotland, and is beloved by Scots and visitors alike.

The painting featured is "Night (No. 2)" by William Orpen, created in 1907. The work depicts a couple in an intimate moment, in a nocturnal setting, with a window in the background. The atmosphere of the painting conveys a sense of passion and emotion. Orpen, known for his boldness and talent, captures the joy of the early years of his marriage to Grace, who married in 1901. The painting is one of a series of works created by the artist that year.
