A Gerfalcon on a Falconer's Glove 1520 - 1562

Christoph Amberger's "A Gerfalcon on a Falconer's Glove" is a detailed watercolor painting depicting a gerfalcon perched on a falconer's glove. The painting, created between 1520 and 1562, showcases Amberger's skill in capturing the intricate details of the bird's plumage and anatomy. The lifelike representation of the gerfalcon, a powerful hunting bird, highlights the popularity of falconry during the Renaissance era. The painting, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, exemplifies Amberger's mastery of naturalistic depictions.
