Here is a charming scene of a monkey trainer that invites us into this timeless circus world.

After two brief experiences in painters' studios, Alexandre Decamps decided to study painting in the streets of Paris and its suburbs, in contact with working-class people. He regularly visited the Louvre and developed a passion for Rembrandt and the Flemish painters.
In 1827, he had his first exhibition at the Salon, where he presented a work entitled Chasse. Very early on, he developed a predilection for painting animals, particularly monkeys assimilated to humans, as Teniers did.
He published satirical drawings in Le Figaro, which brought him great popularity.

In 1828, he was sent on a mission to Greece with the painter Louis Garneray, commissioned to commemorate the victory of Navarino with a painting. He continued his journey to Constantinople, Asia Minor, and the Middle East.
These travels inspired numerous historical paintings exhibited at the 1839 Salon. He was named a Knight of the Legion of Honor (June 27, 1839).
