EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a falconer from the 15th century, as depicted in the Codex de Capodilista. The Italian School's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this vellum manuscript, now housed in the Biblioteca Civica in Padua, Italy. The image showcases a male equestrian adorned in an exquisite caparison, symbolizing his noble status. Mounted on a majestic horse, he exudes confidence and skill as he engages with his loyal bird of prey - a magnificent falcon perched gracefully on his gloved hand. In this medieval scene, we are transported back to a time when falconry was not only an art but also an integral part of daily life. The bond between man and animal is palpable; their partnership forged through trust and mutual respect. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we can't help but marvel at the intricate details that bring it to life - from the delicate feathers of the falcon to every stitch on the rider's attire. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and nature's beauty. This print by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only historical craftsmanship but also our enduring fascination with wildlife and our connection with animals throughout history.
