EDITORS COMMENTS
The Birth of Pantagruel, a captivating illustration from the renowned novel Gargantua and Pantagruel by François Rabelais. This enchanting engraving, created by the French School in the 19th century, captures a pivotal moment in the epic tale of two giants - Gargantua and his son Pantagruel. In this scene, we witness the miraculous arrival of Pantagruel into the world. The mother lies peacefully on her bed in a cozy bedroom while surrounded by women who assist her during this joyous occasion. As she cradles her newborn baby, one cannot help but marvel at their immense size compared to ordinary humans. Adding an element of surprise and whimsy to this composition are two camels standing nearby. Their presence serves as a reminder that even amidst extraordinary events, life continues with its own unique wonders. Rabelais' literary masterpiece takes readers on an incredible adventure through these larger-than-life characters' exploits.
