Birds Of Prey Chasing Falconry Gowns Hawks Hunting Party Plumage Side Saddle
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a hunting party in the 17th century. Painted by Claude Deruet, "Air" showcases a group of women at the center, surrounded by an exhilarating chase between dogs and hares. The scene is set amidst a picturesque landscape, with lush woods providing an enchanting backdrop. The women are elegantly dressed in fashionable gowns, their plumage adding to the ornate beauty of their attire. Mounted on horseback and seated side saddle, they exude grace and poise as they partake in this thrilling pursuit. Falcons and hawks soar above them, symbolizing their mastery over birds of prey. This painting serves as both a decorative masterpiece and an allegory for female empowerment. It portrays women engaging in traditionally male-dominated activities such as hunting, challenging societal norms of the time. Their presence at the heart of this action emphasizes their strength and independence. Deruet's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricate patterns on their garments to the intensity captured in each dog's pursuit. This artwork not only celebrates nature but also highlights humanity's connection with it through sport and leisure. Displayed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Orleans, France, this timeless piece continues to captivate viewers with its vibrant colors and dynamic composition.
