Rozentals ยท Princess and monkey

In the last years of his life, Janis Rozentฤls repeatedly returned to the composition with the figures of a princess and monkey. The first of the painting was exhibited in 1913 at the 3rd Baltic Artists Union exhibition and at the international art show in Munich where the Leipzig publisher Velhagen & Klasing acquired reproduction rights ensuring wide popularity for the work. The symbolic content of the decoratively resplendent Art Nouveau composition has been interpreted as an allegory of the relationship between artist and society reflecting the power of money over the artist; on other occasions, the princess is seen as โ€œgreat, beautiful artโ€ but the monkey as the artist bound by golden chains โ€“ its servant and plaything.
