EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic illustration of Gargantua, taken from the Complete Works of Francois Rabelais. Created by the talented artist Albert Robida in 1880, this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Renaissance literature and medieval folklore. The image transports us to a bustling town, where a majestic river flows beneath an ancient stone bridge. The scene is filled with charming houses and a vibrant crowd dressed in elaborate medieval costumes. In the center stands a towering figure on a magnificent white horse - Gargantua himself. Gargantua, known as the popular ogre from Rabelais' story, dominates the frame with his sheer size and presence. This larger-than-life character symbolizes strength and power while embodying both fear and fascination for those who encounter him. Robida's attention to detail brings every element of this composition to life; from the intricate architecture to each individual within the crowd. The use of vivid colors adds depth and richness to this enchanting scene. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of our connection to centuries-old tales that continue to captivate audiences today. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time, allowing us glimpses into worlds long past while igniting our imagination for generations yet unborn.
