EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the vibrant society of 15th-century Italy. The image showcases an Italian nobleman, exuding elegance and authority, as he holds a majestic hawk on his gloved hand. From the intricate details of his attire to the intensity in his gaze, every element in this engraving speaks volumes about the opulence and refinement of medieval nobility. The nobleman's clothing reflects both his social status and the fashion trends of that era. His richly embroidered doublet, adorned with ornate buttons, is complemented by a flowing cape draped over one shoulder. With its vertical composition, this sketch captures not only the nobleman's regal presence but also emphasizes his connection to nature through the magnificent bird perched upon him. As we delve into history through illustrations like these, we gain insight into a world where class distinctions were deeply ingrained. This print serves as a reminder that during medieval times, middle-class individuals could aspire to emulate their aristocratic counterparts by adopting similar styles of dress and engaging in falconry – activities associated with wealth and privilege. Ken Welsh has masterfully captured this moment from centuries past with meticulous attention to detail. Through engravings such as these, we are transported across time to witness glimpses of historical figures who shaped our understanding of society during those fascinating ages gone by.
