Capuchins are a diverse group of primates found in various parts of the world. One such species is the White-throated Capuchin, which can be seen in this close-up photograph of an adult female carrying her baby on her back. This heartwarming image showcases the strong bond between mother and child. In contrast, the Yellow-breasted Capuchin from Bahia, Brazil displays its impressive set of teeth with its mouth wide open. Formerly known as Cebus apella, this capuchin species captivates us with its unique appearance. The term "capuchin" also refers to other aspects beyond primates. For instance, there is a famous Convent of the Capuchins located in Dinant, Wallonia, Namur, Belgium. The serene atmosphere depicted in this picture invites visitors to explore and appreciate the beauty within. Another intriguing representation is an engraving showcasing the crypt at the Capuchin Monastery in Palermo. The intricate details captured in this artwork provide a glimpse into the historical significance and architectural marvels associated with these religious sites. Moving away from Europe and towards Sorrento, Italy we find ourselves on a terrace overlooking the seashore where monks engage in conversation while an individual loads small barrels onto his donkey's back. This picturesque scene perfectly captures both tranquility and everyday life coexisting harmoniously. Delving deeper into history brings us to The Catacombs of the Capuchins in Palermo - an eerie yet fascinating underground burial site adorned with countless human remains meticulously arranged by monks over centuries past. These catacombs serve as a reminder of mortality and provoke contemplation about our own existence. Similarly thought-provoking is Cimiterio dei Cappuccini (b/w photo), another cemetery maintained by capuchins that holds Napoleon I relics according to engravings dating back centuries ago. Such artifacts connect us directly to significant historical figures and their legacies.
