EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white woodcut print from the 13th century, we are transported back in time to witness a fascinating scene of falconry. The image showcases Jordanus Ruffus, a skilled blacksmith and trusted stablemaster to Emperor Frederick II of the Holy Roman Empire. With great care and expertise, Ruffus tends to his majestic falcons, symbolizing the close bond between man and bird that has been cherished for centuries. His hands delicately handle these magnificent creatures as he ensures their well-being. The intensity in his eyes reflects both his dedication to his craft and the deep respect he holds for these regal birds. This woodcut is taken from a 1502 edition of Libro de la natura di cavalli, an esteemed literary work on horses. It serves as a testament not only to Ruffus' mastery but also highlights the importance of falconry during medieval times when it was considered both an art form and a sport among nobility. The intricate details captured within this print transport us into an era where skillful men like Jordanus Ruffus played vital roles in maintaining harmony between humans and nature's most awe-inspiring creatures. This historical artwork reminds us of our timeless fascination with animals, showcasing how they have always held a special place in human hearts throughout history.
