EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant colours of this 19th-century coloured engraving bring to life the whimsical scene of "Gargantua at his Little Supper". The print, housed in the Musee Carnavalet in Paris, captures a moment from the story by Francois Rabelais. Gargantua, a larger-than-life character known for his insatiable appetite and gluttonous ways, is depicted indulging in an extravagant feast. Surrounded by midgets who appear minuscule compared to his immense size, Gargantua's greed is on full display as he devours every morsel with gusto. The contrast between his gargantuan proportions and their diminutive stature creates a sense of awe and wonder. This artwork serves as a cautionary tale about excess and overindulgence. It reminds us of the consequences that come with unchecked desires and insatiable appetites. Yet, there is also an element of humor present in this scene - it invites viewers to marvel at the absurdity of such a grand spectacle. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness Gargantua's little supper firsthand. We can almost hear the clinking of glasses and laughter echoing through the room as this larger-than-life figure revels in his gluttony. This print serves as both a visual delight and a reminder to find balance amidst our own cravings for more.
