EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Peregrine Falcon in Pursuit: The Ancient Art of Falconry on Heath and Moorland" In this painting by renowned artist Raymond Sheppard, we witness the thrilling moment of a trained Peregrine Falcon in action, as it dives towards its quarry - a grouse, hidden amongst the rugged heath and moorland terrain. The falcon's piercing gaze is fixed intently on its target, its wings spread wide in preparation for the imminent strike. Falconry, an ancient practice that dates back over 4,000 years, is depicted here in all its historical grandeur. The falconer, dressed in traditional attire, stands steadfastly on the ground, his eyes following the bird's every move. The highlands in the background add to the sense of vastness and openness, as the scene unfolds against the backdrop of nature's raw beauty. The Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird in the world, is a master of the skies. In the hands of a skilled falconer, it becomes an extension of the hunter, its predatory instincts harnessed to bring down game. The relationship between the falconer and the falcon is one of mutual respect and trust, forged through hours of training and bonding. This painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of falconry, a sport that transcends time and culture. It invites us to appreciate the rich history of this ancient art, and the awe-inspiring bond between man and raptor. The painted falcon's keen eyes seem to challenge us, daring us to look deeper into the heart of this tradition. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when the heath and moorland were alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of the hunt. The painting serves as a reminder of the power and grace of nature, and the human desire to connect with it in the most profound and enduring ways.
