EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the larger-than-life figure of Rabelais's legendary character, Pantagruel, hanging upside down from a gallows with a book in hand. The scene is a visual representation of the episode from Rabelais's groundbreaking work, "Gargantua and Pantagruel," where Pantagruel consumes the miraculous herb, the Pantagruelion, which grants him the ability to reverse gravity. The date of 1532 is inscribed at the bottom of the print, indicating its historical significance. Rabelais, a French Renaissance writer, is renowned for his satirical and bawdy works, which challenged the moral and social norms of the time. "Gargantua and Pantagruel," published in two parts, "The Great Feast" and "The Trials of Pantagruel," was first published in Paris in 1532 and 1534, respectively. The books were an instant success, with their irreverent humor and fantastical tales capturing the imagination of readers. The image of Pantagruel suspended from the gallows with the book of "The Uses of Pantagruelion" in hand is a testament to the magical and transformative power of knowledge and the human spirit. The print also highlights the importance of literature and the written word during the Renaissance period, as well as the fascination with the supernatural and the marvelous. This historical print is a valuable addition to any collection of Renaissance literature, art, or history. It provides a unique insight into the world of Rabelais and the cultural and intellectual milieu of the time. The image of Pantagruel, defying gravity and holding a book, is a reminder of the power of the human spirit and the transformative effects of knowledge.
