EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 14th century, showcasing the ancient art of heron hawking. Originally an illustration from Livres du Roy Modus, a manuscript held at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris, this 19th-century version beautifully captures the essence of medieval hunting. In this scene, we witness a skilled huntsman on horseback accompanied by his loyal hunting dog. With falconry being a popular sport during that era, our hunter releases his majestic hawk to pursue its prey - a graceful heron soaring through the sky. The engraving skillfully depicts the intense flight as both bird and falcon engage in their aerial dance. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this remarkable image. It transports us into an era where mounted hunters roamed vast landscapes with their trusty steeds and trained birds of prey. The attention to detail showcases not only the expertise of Paul Lacroix but also Ferdinand Sere and A Rivaud who contributed to Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of how art can bridge centuries together, allowing us glimpses into historical traditions that have shaped our world today. This print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with nature's beauty and our relentless pursuit for adventure throughout different epochs.
