EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut from a 1517 edition of Libro de la natura di cavalli by Giordano Ruffo transports us back to the enchanting world of medieval falconry. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship bring to life this ancient art form, capturing a moment frozen in time. In the image, we see a group of men engaged in falconry, an activity that was highly regarded during this period. A majestic falcon perches on the gloved hand of one hunter, its piercing gaze fixed on its surroundings. The bond between man and bird is evident as they work together in perfect harmony. The scene showcases the daily life of these individuals who dedicated themselves to mastering the art of falconry. Their attire reflects their status as noble hunters, with richly adorned garments and accessories befitting their esteemed position. As we delve deeper into this woodcut, we are reminded of the cultural exchange that occurred during this era. Combining German and Italian influences, Giordano Ruffo's work exemplifies how knowledge transcends borders and is shared among different civilizations. This print serves as a testament to our fascination with animals throughout history – from loyal dogs at our side to magnificent birds soaring through the sky. It reminds us that even centuries ago, humans found solace and companionship in nature's creatures while honing their skills for both practical purposes and sheer enjoyment.
