EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1823, found in "Songes drolatiques de Pantagruel" by Francois Rabelais, offers a glimpse into the whimsical and satirical world of the renowned French writer. The scene depicts an unsettling portrayal of L'Inquisition, showcasing the dark and oppressive nature of this historical institution.
The intricate details and expressive characters in this print draw viewers into a surreal dreamscape where reality is distorted and exaggerated. The artist's skillful hand brings to life the fear and paranoia associated with religious persecution during the 16th century.
As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of Rabelais' sharp wit and keen insight into human folly. Through his work, he challenges societal norms and critiques authority figures with humor and intelligence.
This private collection print serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring relevance of Rabelais' work, as well as a testament to the enduring power of art to provoke thought and inspire change.
Let yourself be transported back in time to a world where imagination knows no bounds, courtesy of this remarkable engraving by © Jean Bernard.
