All Professionally Made to Order for Quick Shipping

"Falconers: Masters of the Sky and Timeless Tradition" Step into a world where man and bird become one, as we explore the captivating realm of falconry. This ancient art form has been practiced for centuries, transcending cultures and continents. Two Arab Falconers from Saudi Arabia stand proudly with their majestic companions, showcasing the deep bond between human and raptor. Delve further into history, where tapestries come alive with scenes depicting thrilling hunts. The Pheasant Hunt tapestry from Tournai transports us to 15th-century Belgium, while another showcases Falconers Hunting Waterfowl in all its woolen glory. These intricate works of art capture not only the beauty but also the skill required in this noble pursuit. A Party outside the Gates of a Chateau immortalizes an oil-painted moment frozen in time. The camaraderie among these hunters is evident as they prepare for their next adventure. Lucas Gassel's Mountain Landscape with Falconers takes us on a journey through nature's breathtaking vistas, reminding us that falconry is not just about hunting but also appreciating our surroundings. Traveling back to medieval times, we encounter an enigmatic Tapestry Bear Hunt and Falconry from a Hunts Series; its creator lost to history yet leaving behind an enduring legacy. Utagawa Toyohiro's Party near river introduces us to Japanese falconry traditions during the late 18th century – proof that this age-old practice knows no boundaries. Even pen strokes can bring forth magic as Landscape with falconers by a tree captures fleeting moments on paper with inked precision. Louis XVI pastoral tapestries transport us to Aubusson, France – elegant scenes woven into fabric that celebrate both nature's splendor and human ingenuity. Falconry extends beyond leisurely pursuits; it once played a role in grand spectacles such as The Revival of the Tournament at Budapest.
