"Les Singes Savants" is a painting by Belgian artist Henry Schouten (1864–1927), who was known for his realistic depictions of animals, landscapes, and genre scenes. The title of the work translates to "The Learned Monkeys" in English, and it is one of Schouten's works that exemplify his fascination with anthropomorphism, a theme that was popular in 19th-century art. The painting portrays a group of monkeys engaged in human-like scholarly activities, possibly as a satirical commentary on human behavior or the pursuit of knowledge.

Henry Schouten was part of the animalier school, a group of artists who specialized in the realistic portrayal of animals. His work often displayed a high level of detail and a keen observation of animal behavior, which he combined with a touch of humor and whimsy, as seen in "Les Singes Savants." The painting is characteristic of Schouten's style, with a focus on texture and the play of light and shadow to create a lifelike representation of the subjects.

While the exact date of creation for "Les Singes Savants" is not specified, Schouten's active period as an artist suggests that the work would have been produced sometime between the late 19th century and the early 20th century. The painting is an example of the genre scenes that were popular during this time, where animals were often anthropomorphized to reflect human characteristics or to critique society.

As with many works of art from this period, the provenance and current location of "Les Singes Savants" may not be well documented, and the painting's significance lies in its representation of the animalier movement and its reflection of the cultural and artistic interests of the time. Henry Schouten's contribution to Belgian art through his animal paintings remains noteworthy, and "Les Singes Savants" is a testament to his skill and creativity as an artist.
