EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from a set of playing cards that beautifully depicts the art of courtly hawking. Painted by Konrad Witz in the Upper Rhein Are around 1440-45, this particular card features three hunting dogs in action. The intricate details and skillful use of pen and ink, combined with delicate watercolor washes, bring these canines to life. The dogs are portrayed with such realism that one can almost hear their panting as they eagerly pursue their prey. Their muscles tense and eyes focused, they embody the essence of determination and agility. This artwork captures a moment frozen in time during an exhilarating hunt. Displayed at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, this piece is part of a larger collection depicting various scenes related to falconry. It offers us a glimpse into the noble pastime enjoyed by aristocracy during medieval times. As we admire this image, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It reminds us of the rich cultural heritage passed down through generations and serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history.
