EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century miniature print captures a scene of young gentlemen from the aristocracy indulging in the age-old tradition of falcon hunting. Painted by an unknown Italian artist, this artwork is housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Lombardy, Italy. Intricately detailed and illuminated with vibrant colors, the painting showcases a group of horsemen elegantly riding through lush landscapes. The falconers skillfully hold their majestic birds of prey on gloved hands as they prepare for the hunt. The falcons' sharp eyes are fixed on their potential targets while perched atop their master's arms. The image not only portrays a leisurely activity but also reflects the social hierarchy and wealth associated with aristocratic society during that era. These young noblemen display their status through luxurious attire and well-groomed horses. The artwork transports us back to a time when hunting was not just a sport but also served as a symbol of power and dominance over nature. It offers us a glimpse into medieval life, where humans coexisted with wildlife animals such as falcons and horses played an integral role in daily activities. Luisa Ricciarini's reproduction beautifully preserves this historical masterpiece, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty even centuries later.
