The Sick Monkey, 1875
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas portrait by Edwin Henry Landseer. This monochrome masterpiece, created in the late 19th century but featured in Bibbys Annual of 1912, showcases the artist's exceptional talent and attention to detail. In this poignant artwork, we are transported into an indoor setting where a sick monkey lies on a bed of straw. The monkey's frailty and vulnerability are palpable as it gazes out at us with pleading eyes. Landseer skillfully captures the essence of sickness through his masterful brushstrokes and use of light and shadow. The composition invites us to reflect upon themes of health and reassurance. As we observe this sickly creature surrounded by literature and a book lying open nearby, we can't help but ponder the power of literature as a source of solace during times of illness. Landseer's portrayal evokes sympathy for the monkey while also highlighting our own mortality. Through his artistry, he reminds us that sickness is universal across species boundaries. This print from "The Sick Monkey" serves as both an artistic treasure from the past and a timeless reminder that compassion transcends time periods. It allows us to appreciate Landseer's genius while contemplating our own humanity in relation to sickness and wellness.
