EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Gargantua visit Paris - The people of Paris marvel at Gargantua" transports us back to the enchanting world of Francois Rabelais' literary masterpiece, Gargantua and Pantagruel. Illustrated by the talented Gustave Dore, this engraving captures a pivotal moment in the story where the colossal character Gargantua visits the bustling city of Paris. As we gaze upon this scene, we are immediately drawn to the awe-struck faces of the people of Paris who have gathered around to witness this extraordinary sight. Their expressions range from astonishment to pure wonderment as they crane their necks upwards towards Gargantua's towering figure. It is evident that his presence has left an indelible mark on their minds and hearts. Dore's intricate attention to detail brings every element of this illustration to life. From the intricately designed buildings that line the streets of Paris, showcasing a view of a vibrant cityscape, to Gargantua himself with his larger-than-life physique and commanding presence, each aspect contributes to creating a sense of grandeur and spectacle. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also acts as an invitation for us to delve into Rabelais' imaginative world filled with adventure, satire, and profound philosophical insights.
