EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the renowned novel "Gargantua and Pantagruel" by Francois Rabelais. The illustration, created in the 19th century by an anonymous French artist, depicts Panurge's sheep with great detail and precision. In this particular moment of the story, Panurge, a male shepherd character, finds himself aboard a ship with his mischievous flock of sheep. The image captures the chaos that ensues as these lively animals jump overboard one after another. Their woolly bodies are frozen mid-air, suspended in time as they take their daring leap into the unknown. Rabelais' pentalogy of novels narrates the extraordinary adventures of two giants named Gargantua and Pantagruel. This specific episode involving Panurge's sheep adds a touch of humor to the overall narrative. It highlights both Rabelais' wit and his ability to create vivid characters that resonate with readers across centuries. The engraving is housed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France - a fitting location for such an iconic piece of French literature. Its inclusion in this collection signifies its cultural significance and enduring popularity among literary enthusiasts worldwide. This timeless artwork invites us to delve into Rabelais' imaginative world where giants roam freely alongside their peculiar companions. It serves as a visual reminder of the power that literature holds to transport us beyond our reality into realms filled with wonderment and amusement.
