"Affenkonzert" is a notable painting by the 19th-century Belgian artist Zacharias Noterman, who specialized in genre scenes often featuring animals mimicking human behavior. The title of the work translates to "Monkey Concert" in English and depicts a humorous scene in which a group of monkeys are engaged in playing musical instruments and performing as if they were a human orchestra. This painting is an example of singeries, a genre of art that gained popularity in the 17th and 18th centuries, characterized by its satirical portrayal of monkeys dressed in fashionable attire and engaging in human activities, often as a means to comment on contemporary society.

Noterman, born in Ghent in 1820 and active primarily in Belgium and France, was known for his detailed and lively animal representations, and "Affenkonzert" is considered one of his masterpieces in this genre. The painting showcases his skill in anthropomorphism, bringing a sense of whimsy and critique to the viewer as the monkeys mirror the social and cultural practices of the time. The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been produced during the height of Noterman's career, likely in the mid to late 19th century.

The work is executed in oil on canvas, a common medium for the period, and captures the rich textures of the animals' fur and the sumptuous fabrics of their attire with meticulous brushwork. The composition is dynamic, with each monkey character engaged in a distinct action, contributing to the overall narrative of the concert. The facial expressions and body language of the monkeys are rendered with a sense of individual personality, which adds to the comedic effect of the scene.

"Affenkonzert" by Zacharias Noterman is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its playful commentary on human follies through the lens of animal satire. The painting is a significant work within Noterman's oeuvre and contributes to the broader tradition of singeries in European art. It continues to be of interest to art historians and collectors, and it is often referenced in discussions of animal symbolism and the use of satire in visual arts.
