Zacharie Noterman or Zacharias Notermann was a Belgian painter, born in Ghent and died in Paris. First trained by his father, he perfected the Fine Arts in Antwerp before settling in Paris. It is there that he specializes in humorous scenes notably depicting monkeys dressed in costumes and practicing human activities (the so-called singeries), as well as in paintings of dogs. He also produced some scenes of traveling circuses. Noterman painted mainly scenes with animals including portraits of dogs as well as scenes involving cats and dogs. Noterman was particularly interested in the subject of singeries, which are humoristic paintings of monkeys engaging in human activities. The monkeys in the scenes are often dressed in costumes which adds comedy to their 'aping' of a specific human action (often a vice such as smoking or gambling) or occupation such as a dentist, lawyer, painter, art critic, etc. Noterman's work shows a growing interest in realism in painting in Belgium. He exhibited in Belgium as well as at the Salon in Paris. |
