"An Allegory of Air: A Musical Still Life with a Monkey Blowing Bubbles, a Musette, a Flute and Musical Scores" is a painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Oudry, created in 1720. This work is a fine example of Oudry's skill in still life, a genre in which he excelled alongside his better-known work as an animalier, or painter of animals. The painting is a complex allegory that combines elements of music and the animal world to represent 'Air,' one of the four classical elements.

The composition features a monkey, a creature often used in art to symbolize human folly, engaged in the whimsical act of blowing bubbles, which are ephemeral and delicate, much like the intangible nature of air and sound. Accompanying the monkey are a musette and a flute, both wind instruments that further emphasize the theme of air through their function and the music they produce. The inclusion of musical scores adds to the intellectual depth of the piece, suggesting the importance of art and culture.

Oudry's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to render textures and surfaces are evident in this painting. The work is imbued with a sense of life and movement, despite its still life categorization, and it reflects the Rococo taste for playful and ornate subjects, which was prevalent during the period in which Oudry worked.

The painting is not only a testament to Oudry's artistic talents but also serves as a cultural artifact that offers insights into the philosophical and artistic preoccupations of the early 18th century. It remains an important piece within Oudry's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and allegorical significance.
