EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Monk Saki" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the incredible talent of German School artists. The print, part of a private collection, is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of nature and wildlife. Illustrated by Johann Eberhard Ihle and engraved by Johann Carl Bock, this artwork originates from "A Die SAaugthiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur mit BeschreibungenA" a publication by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber. Published between 1774 and 1855, this work aimed to depict animals in their natural habitat with detailed descriptions. The image features Simia monacha or Pithecia monachus, commonly known as the monk saki monkey. This enchanting creature comes alive through intricate lines and vibrant colours meticulously crafted by these talented artists. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are transported into the world of natural history. The monkey's expressive eyes seem to hold secrets untold while its fur is rendered with remarkable precision. Every stroke showcases the dedication and skill invested in creating such lifelike depictions. Thanks to Purix Verlag Volker Christen and Bridgeman Images' efforts to preserve these historical works of art, we can still appreciate them today. This particular print serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with monkeys but also of humanity's enduring connection with nature throughout centuries past.
