EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Falconer to the royal household of King Francis I, 16th century" takes us back in time to the splendor and elegance of the Renaissance era. Created by artist Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard in 1867, this handcolored lithograph showcases a falconer dressed in traditional attire. The falconer stands tall and proud, adorned in a grey-blue vest, breeches, and hose. A vibrant red tunic adds a touch of regality to his ensemble while a plumed felt hat crowns his head. His belt holds essential tools for his craft - a gibeciere pouch for storing supplies, a knife for various purposes, and an alluring lure. Inspired by a tapestry found within the Chateau d'Uriage, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of falconry during King Francis I's reign. The intricate details bring life to both man and bird as they engage in their ancient partnership. Lechevallier-Chevignard was not only an accomplished artist but also an illustrator and interior designer. Through his work on historical costumes like this one, he transported viewers into different periods with remarkable accuracy. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection today, it serves as a reminder of our rich history and cultural heritage. It allows us to appreciate the skills passed down through generations that enabled humans to form such unique bonds with animals like falcons – bonds that continue to captivate our imaginations centuries later.
