About the Item

Title: Plate 21: 'Histoire Naturelle, Regne Animal, 1; Le Macaque - 2; Le Douc' Medium: Print Origin: From 'The Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers, par une Société de Gens de lettres', directed by Diderot and d'Alembert Publication Dates: 1751-1772 Description: Plate 21 from this monumental encyclopedia showcases two distinct primate species: the Macaque and the Red-shanked Douc. This print is a part of a significant collection of visual works that accompanied the 17 volumes of text and 11 volumes of plates in the Encyclopédie. The Macaque is illustrated with precision, capturing its lively and inquisitive nature. The details of its facial expressions, fur texture, and body posture are rendered with scientific accuracy, reflecting the Enlightenment's emphasis on empirical observation. Adjacent to it, the Red-shanked Douc is portrayed in its full splendor. Known for its striking appearance, especially its characteristic red legs, and the intricate patterns of its fur. The depiction is not just an artistic endeavor but also a scientific representation, conveying the animal's serene and graceful demeanor. This print is a significant historical artifact, representing the Enlightenment's quest for knowledge and understanding of the natural world. It exemplifies the era's dedication to cataloging and studying various species, contributing to the vast repository of knowledge that the Encyclopédie aimed to compile. The intricate artwork and scientific accuracy make this print a valuable piece for both art enthusiasts and scholars of natural history.
