David Teniers II – The Dance of the Monkeys

This piece is a faithful reproduction of a painting by David Teniers the Younger (1610–1690), a Flemish artist born into a prestigious family of painters. Early in his career, he gained considerable success, which led him to work for European royal courts. He became well known for his distinctive approach to genre scenes.

Teniers is particularly celebrated for his village and interior scenes, filled with lively characters and intricate details. He also explored a more whimsical style through humorous animal paintings, especially those featuring monkeys dressed as humans, mimicking everyday human behavior.

This painting shows a group of monkeys dancing in a tavern, behaving like people. The composition is both lively and witty, and it perfectly illustrates Teniers’ playful imagination and keen observational skills.
