EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print by Gerrit Berckheyde takes us back to a time when falconry was not only an art form but also a popular leisure activity. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the countryside, this scene showcases the harmonious relationship between humans and nature. In this idyllic setting, we see men and women indulging in their shared passion for falconry. The vibrant colors of their attire stand out against the lush greenery and towering trees that surround them. A group of horseback riders gracefully navigate the hilly terrain, while their loyal hounds eagerly join in on the adventure. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the majestic birds of prey perched upon gloved hands. With feathers glistening under sunlight, these magnificent creatures symbolize power and grace as they await their next command from their handlers. Berckheyde's meticulous attention to detail transports us to a bygone era where hunting was not just about capturing prey but also appreciating nature's beauty. This painting serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. Preserved within the State A Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, this masterpiece allows us to immerse ourselves in Dutch Golden Age culture and witness firsthand how falconry played a prominent role in society during that period. It is through such works of art that we can truly appreciate our rich heritage and connect with our ancestors' love for both animals and outdoor pursuits.
