EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil painting titled "Monkeys in a Tavern". Ferdinand van Kessel transports us to a whimsical world filled with mischief and charm. The scene unfolds within the cozy confines of an inn, where monkeys have taken over as patrons. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, allowing us to marvel at the intricate elements that bring this lively tavern to life. From the flickering lantern casting warm light on the wooden tables adorned with cards and armor, to the mischievous monkey playing a tune on a miniature piano while another captures our attention by singing his heart out. Amongst all the commotion, we notice a cleverly hidden cat observing from atop one of the tables, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this playful composition. It seems as though these monkeys have created their own little society within these walls. As we explore further into this delightful painting, our eyes are drawn towards a small prisoner held captive behind bars. This intriguing addition adds depth and mystery to an already enchanting scene. "Monkeys in a Tavern" is undoubtedly a masterpiece that showcases van Kessel's skillful execution and imaginative narrative style known as singerie - depicting animals engaging in human-like activities. This charming piece can be found at Johnny van Haeften Gallery in London, UK, inviting viewers into its vibrant world for centuries beyond its creation date.
