EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the hunting costume of a baron from Venice, dating back to circa 1000. The intricate engraving, created by Christoph Krieger in the late 16th century, depicts the opulence and grandeur associated with Venetian nobility during this era. The baron is adorned in a magnificent suit made of gold cloth, embellished with shimmering silver or gold plumes that catch the sunlight. His attire is further enhanced by a large harness and wide belt, adding an air of authority and power to his appearance. In his hands, he holds a falcon wearing a hood—an emblematic symbol of aristocratic hunting practices during this time period. The attention to detail is evident not only in the depiction of the baron's costume but also in the ornate decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann. This woodblock engraving by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot was inspired by Cesare Vecellio's renowned work "Costumes anciens et modernes" which aimed to document historical clothing styles from around the world. Through this exquisite artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor and elegance associated with Venetian nobility during the Middle Ages. It serves as a testament to both historical fashion trends and artistic craftsmanship that continue to captivate viewers even centuries later.
