EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of elegance and grace. A mounted lady, adorned in exquisite attire, delicately holds a majestic heron on one hand. This mesmerizing image is part of a set of playing cards that depict scenes of courtly hawking during the Upper Rhein Are period around 1440-45. The artist behind this masterpiece is Konrad Witz or someone from his circle. With skilled precision using pen and ink, they have brought to life the enchanting world of medieval aristocracy. The vibrant watercolors add depth and vibrancy to the artwork. Displayed at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, this print captures our attention with its timeless beauty. It showcases not only the artistry but also provides insights into historical customs and pastimes such as falconry. The side saddle on which the lady sits symbolizes her refined upbringing and adherence to societal norms. Meanwhile, the heron represents nature's magnificence and serves as a reminder of humanity's connection with wildlife. This photograph does justice to Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving fine art for generations to come. It allows us an intimate glimpse into an era long gone while celebrating both human creativity and our relationship with animals.
