The Experts

Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps (French) 1837 This satirical work, created by Decamps and exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1839, portrays elegantly dressed "experts" examining a landscape in the style of Nicolas Poussin, a seventeenth-century painter. The artwork reflects the generation of Decamps and his contemporaries, including Théodore Rousseau and Jules Dupré, who aimed to challenge the dominant belief that past art should dictate contemporary taste. The inclusion of monkeys engaging in human activities, known as singeries in French, is part of a long-standing artistic tradition that dates back to ancient times.
