EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le faucon" takes us back to the 19th century French countryside, where rural life and the art of hunting were deeply intertwined. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for "La Chasse Illustree" a publication by Firmin Didot in 1871-72. The scene depicted showcases a picturesque rural landscape with lush green pastures stretching out into the distance. A group of horsemen can be seen galloping across the fields, engaged in state hunting activities. The horses range from elegant racehorses to sturdy shire horses, each playing their role in this bloodsport tradition. Amidst this dynamic scene stands a majestic falcon perched on its handler's gloved hand. This bird of prey symbolizes both power and grace as it prepares to take flight. Its presence adds an element of wildness to the otherwise serene countryside setting. This artwork not only captures a specific moment in time but also provides insight into the rich cultural heritage surrounding hunting practices in France during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of our connection with nature and wildlife while showcasing the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating intricate engravings like this one. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical piece through Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and delve into its historical context even today.
