EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 15th century, we are transported back in time to witness a falconer in action. The scene depicts a man dressed in medieval attire, pulling on his gloves with utmost concentration. Standing beside him are two majestic falcons, perched gracefully and ready for flight. This remarkable illumination is taken from a Flemish Book of Hours created specifically for Engelbert II of Nassau between 1485-1490. It offers us a glimpse into the daily life and fashion of that era, showcasing the intricate details of clothing such as the falconer's jacket and hat. Falconry, an ancient sport dating back centuries, was highly regarded during the Renaissance period. This image captures not only the skillful bond between man and bird but also highlights their shared passion for this noble pursuit. The falconer's spear serves as a reminder of both his role as protector and guide to these magnificent creatures. The artistry displayed in this print is truly breathtaking; every stroke illuminates not just physical attributes but also emotions felt by both human and avian subjects alike. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece, we can't help but be captivated by its beauty and historical significance.
