{"product_id":"pieter-bruegel-the-elder-two-chained-monkeys-fine-art-print","title":"Pieter Bruegel the Elder — Two Chained Monkeys | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo brown monkeys with russet crowns sit on the sill of a deep stone arch, joined by a chain run through an iron ring between them, each with a shackle at the ankle. Broken nutshells lie scattered on the ledge. Through the opening a wide river with sailing boats stretches to a pale town of church spires, and birds cross the sky. The painter's name and a date in Roman numerals are inscribed at the lower left.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBruegel painted this small panel in 1562, shortly before he moved from Antwerp to Brussels. The Gemäldegalerie identifies the animals as collared mangabeys studied from life and reads the broken nuts as a sign of people who give up their freedom for a gain of dubious value. The town seen through the window is recognisably Antwerp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: painting on oak panel, 1562; Gemäldegalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1525–1569) was a Netherlandish painter and printmaker. He trained in Antwerp, likely under Pieter Coecke van Aelst, and travelled to Italy before settling first in Antwerp and later Brussels, working for merchant and court patrons. His crowded panoramas of peasant life, proverbs and biblical scenes set in contemporary Flemish landscape combine close observation of ordinary people with wit and, at times, dark allegory. His paintings are held by the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, the Museo del Prado and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/archival-museum-standards\"\u003eArchival Museum Standards\u003c\/a\u003e: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
