EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "The Falconer," was created by Dutch artist Christoffel Bisschop between 1850 and 1880. The image showcases a young man, dressed in black apparel, intently gazing at the viewer with a direct and focused expression. He wears a fitted coat and a high collar, giving an air of sophistication and authority. In his hands, he holds a falcon perched on a leather-gloved fist. The raptor, with its piercing gaze, appears alert and poised, a testament to the falconer's skill and expertise. Falconry, an ancient hunting tradition, is depicted in this painting as both a noble occupation and a fashionable pastime. The oval-shaped canvas, with its rich, oil-painted texture, transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the heritage and culture of the Low Countries. The young man's attire, combined with his confident posture and the presence of the falcon, emphasizes the connection between man and nature, as well as the importance of tradition and heritage in European society during this period. This evocative portrait, with its intricate details and masterful use of color, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of animal training, fashion, or European art. The Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands is proud to house this magnificent work by Christoffel Bisschop, a true masterpiece from the 19th century.
