EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hunting - Falconry - Food of birds" is a remarkable piece of art from the 18th century. Created by Benard d'apres Goussier, it was featured in "The Great Encyclopedie" by Denis Diderot and Jean d'Alembert. The image transports us to a world where falconry was an esteemed practice. The skilled falconer stands tall, his gloved hand extended as he feeds a majestic bird of prey perched on his arm. The bond between man and bird is evident in their focused gazes and poised stances. Every detail in this engraving speaks volumes about the era it represents. From the intricate patterns on the falconer's attire to the delicate feathers adorning the bird's wings, each stroke captures the essence of this ancient hunting tradition. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of how our ancestors relied on nature for sustenance and survival. This print serves as a window into history, offering us insight into both human ingenuity and our connection with animals. Preserved within private collections today, these engravings continue to inspire awe and fascination among art enthusiasts worldwide. Through its timeless beauty, this piece invites us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also the rich cultural heritage it embodies.
