EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting that transports viewers into an intriguing world of anthropomorphic animals. Painted by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin, or attributed to him, this masterpiece measures 55.5x72 cm and can be found at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France. In this whimsical artwork, a group of monkeys donning Masonic attire gather in what appears to be a secret lodge meeting. The scene is illuminated by candlelight as the primates engage in their mysterious rituals. A large globe sits prominently on the table, symbolizing their global reach and influence. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate clothing worn by each monkey to the flickering flames of the candles. This playful yet thought-provoking piece invites contemplation about secrecy, power dynamics, and human society through its clever use of animal symbolism. "The Monkey Freemasons" offers a unique blend of humor and intrigue as it explores themes related to freemasonry and brotherhood within an imaginative setting. It serves as a reminder that art has the ability to transcend boundaries and provoke deep reflection on our own existence. This print from Fine Art Finder allows admirers worldwide to appreciate Saint-Aubin's talent while also preserving his legacy for future generations.
