EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of The Abbey of Theleme, with its famous motto "Fay what you want" boldly displayed. In this scene from Francois Rabelais' work, we see young Thelemite women enjoying a moment of freedom and liberation as they bathe naked in the mirroficque triple solier baths. The atmosphere is one of happiness, joy, and carefree gaiety, reflecting the spirit of the abbey where individuals are encouraged to do as they please.
The illustration by Robida for Rabelais' complete works published in 1885 transports us back to the 16th century France, where Rabelais himself was known for his satirical and humorous writing. As a writer and physician, he challenged societal norms and conventions through his work, advocating for personal freedom and self-expression.
Through this image, we are reminded of the importance of embracing our desires and following our own path without fear or judgment. It serves as a timeless reminder that true happiness comes from being true to oneself and living authentically. This piece not only celebrates literature but also captures a moment of pure bliss and contentment that transcends time.
