The Varied Monkey or Mona on Tree Branches
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Thomas Bewick This exquisite print, titled "The Varied Monkey or Mona on Tree Branches," is a masterpiece by the renowned English natural history illustrator, Thomas Bewick. Created in the late 18th century, this engraving showcases the captivating agility and expressiveness of the Varied Monkey, also known as the Mona Monkey or the Quadrumana variegata. Bewick's intricate engraving technique brings the monkey to life, as it gracefully balances on tree branches, its curious eyes fixed on the viewer. The intricate details of the monkey's fur, the texture of the tree bark, and the delicate patterns of the leaves are all rendered with remarkable precision and artistry. The Varied Monkey is native to West Africa and is known for its distinctive coloration, with a coat that ranges from white to dark brown, and a face that is often described as having an "old-world" or "human-like" expression. This enchanting creature was a favorite subject of Bewick, who was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This print is a testament to Bewick's extraordinary talent as a natural history illustrator and his deep appreciation for the natural world. It invites us to marvel at the beauty and grace of the Varied Monkey, while also serving as a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists in our world. Thomas Bewick's "The Varied Monkey or Mona on Tree Branches" is not only a work of art but also a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the natural history of a fascinating species and the artistic vision of a masterful illustrator.
