EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from 1873, we are transported back to the 16th century and immersed in the world of François Rabelais' satirical masterpiece, "Gargantua and Pantagruel". Created by Gustave Doré, a renowned French illustrator of his time, this print titled "RABELAIS: THELEMITES" captures a moment of serene joy experienced by the Thelemites. The scene depicts men and women indulging in quiet pleasures amidst the backdrop of Renaissance France. As we gaze upon this illustration, we witness a group of individuals engaged in leisurely activities that bring them contentment. Some sit under shady trees engrossed in books or engaging conversation while others enjoy strolling through lush gardens hand-in-hand. Their faces radiate tranquility as they relish these simple yet meaningful moments. This artwork not only showcases Doré's exceptional talent for capturing intricate details but also highlights Rabelais' profound exploration of human nature and society through satire. It invites us to reflect on our own pursuit of happiness and reminds us that true fulfillment can be found within life's quieter moments. As admirers of art history, we are fortunate to have access to such remarkable prints like this one from The Granger Collection.
