"A Man with a Monkey" is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Annibale Carracci, dating from the late 16th or early 17th century. Carracci, known for his influential role in the development of the Baroque style, was a prominent painter and printmaker active during the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque period. This painting is a notable example of his genre work, which often depicted scenes from everyday life with a naturalistic style and a focus on the human figure.

The painting portrays a man, possibly a street performer or an itinerant entertainer, holding a small monkey on a leash. The subject's direct gaze and the intimate portrayal of the interaction between the man and the animal reflect Carracci's interest in capturing the character and emotions of his subjects. The work is characterized by its vivid realism, attention to detail, and the use of chiaroscuro—a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and depth.

"A Man with a Monkey" is significant for its representation of the lower classes, a theme that Carracci and other artists of the time began to explore more frequently, moving away from the idealized figures and mythological subjects that dominated earlier Renaissance art. This shift towards realism and the depiction of common people is a hallmark of Carracci's oeuvre and contributed to the broader trends in Baroque painting that emphasized emotion, movement, and the human experience.

The painting is also an example of Carracci's skill in capturing textures and materials, with the rendering of the man's clothing and the monkey's fur demonstrating his adeptness with the brush. The composition's simplicity and the warm, earthy palette further enhance the sense of immediacy and presence in the work.

"A Man with a Monkey" remains an important work within Annibale Carracci's body of genre paintings and offers insight into the social and artistic context of the time. It is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of naturalistic portraiture and genre scenes in Western art history.
