About the artwork
Dated 1886, "Affen, halbaffen a) Der rote Brüllaffe. b) Der Sai oder kaouzineraffe. c) Der Saimiri. d) Das Löwenäffchen. e) Der Vari." is an artwork by Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert. Background on Plants & Animals: Images of plants and animals are valued both for the care of their observation and for their decorative appeal. Naturalists and artists often worked together, especially on voyages and in published surveys of flora and fauna. Context for 1886: The later nineteenth century is the era of Impressionism, whose first group exhibition was held in Paris in 1874, followed by Post-Impressionism, Symbolism, and the Arts and Crafts movement. In the 1890s, colour lithography and Art Nouveau made the illustrated poster a celebrated art form. The catalogue places it in Plants & Animals. The format is landscape.
"Affen, halbaffen a) Der rote Brüllaffe. b) Der Sai oder kaouzineraffe. c) Der Saimiri. d) Das Löwenäffchen. e) Der Vari." is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A landscape format suits wide, low wall spaces such as the stretch above a bed, mantel, or sideboard. Browsing works by the same artist, or from the same period, is a good way to compare styles before choosing what suits your space.
