EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Gargantua a son grand couvert (a table)" by Rabelais, created by the French School in the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and captures an engraving that depicts a scene from Rabelais' literary masterpiece. In this intriguing piece, we witness Gargantua, a giant figure from the 16th century, seated at an enormous table filled with sumptuous food and drink. The artist skillfully portrays Gargantua's larger-than-life presence as he enjoys his extravagant meal. Rabelais, known for his satirical and humorous writing style, was not only a writer but also a doctor and practitioner of medicine. His works often explored themes related to health and society. This artwork serves as both an homage to Rabelais' literary contributions and as a representation of European culture during the Renaissance period. The photographer Leonard de Selva has expertly captured every intricate detail of this engraving, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance while marveling at its artistic beauty. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, this print transports us back in time to experience the world through Rabelais' imaginative lens.
