Monkey Musician Triangle Player

The "Monkey Musician with Triangle" is part of the 2016 "Monkey Musicians" series created by Peter Strang, former chief modeler of the MEISSEN manufactory. The collection serves as a contemporary interpretation of Johann Joachim Kaendler's historic "Monkey Band," while placing a deliberate emphasis on expressive character.

In contrast to the ornate richness of the 18th century, Strang's approach is defined by reduction and clarity. Each figure is freely sculpted entirely by hand-without the use of molds-demonstrating exceptional mastery of form. The figures are then hand-painted using only the three primary colors, further accentuating their vivid expressiveness.

The "Monkey Musician with Triangle" blends seamlessly into this modern orchestra, captivating collectors and admirers of traditional porcelain artistry with its refined design and distinctive personality.
