Joseph Schippers (1868-1950): Monkeys, oil on canvas, dated 1920

Work: 70 x 54 cm

Frame: 84,5 x 68 cm

Jos Schippers studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp under the supervision of a.o. Léon de Meuter Brunin (1861-1949) and Pieter Van Havermaet (&834-1897). At the beginning of his career, he mainly painted landscapes and boat scenes. His fame increased enormously when he switched to a more anecdotal genre with monkeys. In these scenes, the monkeys are the substitutes for humans.
