| book description |
Falconry, the cultural technique of hunting using falcons, hawks or even eagles, is more than a form of hunting or sport: it is also a visual practice with immense aesthetic appeal. Since its inception, falconry has been associated with political representation worldwide. Yannis Hadjinicolaou explores the ways in which falconry’s political iconology and its practice as a cultural technique are connected. He traces the art of falconry worldwide, from late antiquity to the present day, focusing his study on the early modern period. He demonstrates how the transfer of functions, motifs and meanings, and the (physical) movement of artistically designed objects, but also of the falcons themselves or the instruments of falconry, still connect countries and continents today. First visual history of falconry A case study of a global art history New research on a complex human-animal interaction.
