The Experts is an early 19th-century painting by French artist Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps. Done in oil on canvas, the painting depicts a group of monkeys examining a painting. Decamps intended The Experts to be a work of satire; the apes are dressed in the attire (Singerie) of French gentlemen, and are representative of art critics. The painting the group is examining is a landscape by Nicolas Poussin, a 17th-century French painter.[1] Decamps' work, which was originally shown at the Paris Salon of 1839, is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1][2]
