EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the exquisite artistry of Petrus Christus, a renowned Flemish artist from the Middle Ages. This stunning silverpoint with brown ink on paper masterpiece can be found at the Stadel Museum in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. In this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history. A man stands proudly before us, his face adorned with determination and focus. He wears an elegant hat that adds an air of sophistication to his appearance. The true star of this composition is undoubtedly the majestic falcon perched upon the falconer's gloved hand. The bird of prey captivates our attention with its intense gaze and powerful presence. Its feathers are meticulously rendered by Christus, showcasing his exceptional skill as an artist. This portrait not only captures the beauty of nature but also provides insight into medieval life and culture. It offers a glimpse into the ancient practice of falconry – a sport reserved for nobility and considered both an art form and a status symbol during that era. Through this remarkable artwork, Petrus Christus invites us to appreciate not only his technical mastery but also to reflect upon our own connection with nature and history. "The Falconer" serves as a timeless reminder of mankind's fascination with animals and their enduring place within artistic expression throughout centuries past.
