EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from the illustrious novel "Gargantua" by Francois Rabelais. The print, titled "Marquet and the fouace breads sellers before the king Picrochole" is an exquisite illustration by Pierre Couselles, who sadly passed away in 1938. The image transports us to 16th century France, where we witness Marquet, a character from Rabelais' literary masterpiece, engaging with the fouace breads sellers in front of King Picrochole. The attention to detail in this drawing is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to each figure depicted. Rabelais was a renowned writer and doctor whose works continue to captivate readers even today. His unique blend of wit, satire, and social commentary made him one of the most celebrated authors of his time. Through his novels like "Gargantua" he explored various themes such as labor, health, and French society during the 16th century. This particular print showcases Couselles' exceptional talent as an artist. His intricate style perfectly complements Rabelais' vivid storytelling. The composition draws you into the scene itself - you can almost hear Marquet negotiating with the bread sellers while King Picrochole observes intently. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection curated by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of both Rabelais' literary genius and Couselles' artistic prowess. It serves as a testament to their enduring legacy within French literature and fine art alike.
