"A Concert of Cats, Owls, A Magpie, And A Monkey In A Barn" is a captivating painting by the Dutch artist Cornelis Saftleven, who was active during the 17th century. Saftleven, born in 1607 in Gorinchem and passing away in 1681 in Rotterdam, was known for his genre scenes, animal paintings, and satirical works. This particular painting is a testament to his skill in blending humor, anthropomorphism, and detailed observation of animal behavior.

The artwork depicts an unusual and whimsical scene set in a rustic barn. At the center of the composition, a group of cats, owls, a magpie, and a monkey are engaged in what appears to be a musical concert. The animals are anthropomorphized, each playing different musical instruments or participating in the scene in a manner that mimics human behavior. The cats, with their varied expressions and postures, are particularly notable for their lifelike yet comical portrayal. The owls, often symbols of wisdom, add an element of irony to the scene, while the magpie and monkey contribute to the chaotic and humorous atmosphere.

Saftleven's use of light and shadow, along with his attention to the textures of fur and feathers, brings a sense of realism to the fantastical scene. The barn setting, with its wooden beams and rustic details, provides a fitting backdrop that enhances the overall charm and eccentricity of the composition.

This painting is an excellent example of Saftleven's ability to infuse everyday scenes with a sense of playfulness and satire. It reflects the broader trends in Dutch Golden Age painting, where artists often explored themes of domesticity, nature, and the absurd. "A Concert of Cats, Owls, A Magpie, And A Monkey In A Barn" remains a delightful and intriguing piece that continues to capture the imagination of viewers with its unique blend of realism and fantasy.
