Vollständige Sammlung der Meissener Affenkapelle
Vollständige Sammlung der Meissener Affenkapelle 22-tlg.; Auf reliefiertem Rocaillesockel einundzwanzig stehende bzw. sitzende Figuren eines Kapellmeisters, Geigers, Baßgeigers, Klarinettisten, einer Harfenistin, eines Paukenschlägers und -trägers, Trompeters, Waldhornbläsers, Triangelschlägers, Dudelsackpfeifers, Fagottspielers, Flötisten, Gitarristen, Trommlers, einer Drehleierspielerin, eines Klavierspielers und vier Sängerinnen sowie Notenpult. Polychrome Malerei mit Goldstaffage. Entw. Johann Joachim Kaendler und Peter Reinicke. Teilw. minim. rest.; Schwertermarke. H. 9 cm - 17 cm.
Die unterschiedlichen Affen der Kapelle werden in den Arbeitsberichten Johann Joachim Kaendlers in der Zeit von 1749 und 1766 erwähnt. Bereits 1753 gestaltete Kaendler ein Ensemble musizierender Affenfiguren in farbenfroher Kleidung mit affektiert wirkendem Ausdruck, die er in Zusammenarbeit mit Peter Reinicke um 1765/1766 nochmals überarbeitete. Darstellungen von Tieren mit menschlichen Eigenschaften und Verhaltensweisen erfreuten sich nicht zuletzt wegen des großen Interesses an Fabeldichtungen im 18. Jh. höchster Beliebtheit, vor allem in den sog. "Singerien" französischer Künstler, die kuriose, szenische Darstellungen von menschlich agierenden Affen in verschiedenen Situationen zeigten.
