Description
UNESCO, part of the United Nations, recently recognized the traditional art of falconry as intangible cultural heritage. In celebration, the Rijksmuseum presents around thirty 15th, 16th and 17th century prints depicting the prestigious activity of falconry from its collection. The prints, including scenes by the Master of the Amsterdam Cabinet, Lucas van Leyden, Hendrick Goltzius and Hans Burgkmair the elder, demonstrate just how rich the tradition of falconry is, as well as the ability of falconers to capture the imagination. The falconers appear as courtly lovers, noble saints and idle profligates.0Exhibition: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, the Netherlands (7.8-19.11.2012).0.
