Monkey Artist by Jean Baptiste Simeon Chardin

Monkey Artist by Jean Baptiste Simeon Chardin

Fashion for paintings, and objects of decorative art with images of monkeys appeared in France in the late XVII century. Most often, the artists wrote monkeys dressed in a human dress and engaged in some kind of human work.

Some of the “monkey” paintings belong to the brush of very famous masters. A few similar paintings were written by Chardin. These include the “Monkey-Artist”, which depicts a monkey trying to draw a broken statuette of the Amur. The monkey smiles slyly at the viewer, and as if he wants to say: “Wait, wait, now I will succeed.” And no worse than people. “

By the end of the XVIII century, with the approval in the painting of majestic academic style, fashion for paintings with humanized monkeys has passed.
