"Die Affen" (The Monkeys) is a renowned engraving by Pieter II van der Borcht, a Flemish artist known for his detailed and often whimsical depictions of animals and genre scenes. Created in the 16th century, this work is part of a series that showcases van der Borcht's skill in capturing the playful and sometimes satirical nature of monkeys engaging in human activities, a common theme in Northern Renaissance art known as Singerie.

The engraving features a group of monkeys partaking in various activities, anthropomorphically mimicking human behavior. This scene is not only a display of the artist's technical ability in the medium of engraving but also serves as a commentary on human folly, a subject that artists and moralists of the time frequently explored through the depiction of animals. The intricate details and the lively composition invite viewers to reflect on the boundaries between human and animal behavior, as well as on the vices and follies of contemporary society.

As a member of the van der Borcht artistic dynasty, Pieter II van der Borcht's work was influential in spreading the Northern Renaissance's fascination with the natural world and its allegorical use in art. "Die Affen," with its combination of artistry and moral commentary, remains an important example of this genre and continues to be studied for its contribution to the tradition of Northern European printmaking.
