EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned French doctor and satirical writer, François Rabelais, in a lively and intimate moment with his friend, likely identified as Doctor Bernard. The image, captured in 1553, offers a glimpse into the personal side of Rabelais, who is best known for his scandalous and satirical works, such as "Gargantua and Pantagruel." Rabelais's groundbreaking literature, filled with bawdy humor, grotesque imagery, and biting social commentary, challenged the moral and social norms of the time. His influence on Western literature is undeniable, with writers like Voltaire, Swift, and Joyce citing him as an inspiration. Despite his provocative writings, Rabelais was also a respected medical professional, serving as a doctor in the monastery of Thélonius in Anjou, France. In this print, he is shown wearing the traditional attire of a physician, complete with a mortar and pestle, symbolizing his dedication to the medical field. His friend, Doctor Bernard, is depicted in a more relaxed pose, leaning on a table and holding a glass of wine. The two men appear to be engaged in a lively conversation, perhaps sharing a joke or reminiscing about old times. The warm and inviting atmosphere of the bar setting adds to the sense of camaraderie and friendship between the two men. This print offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the enigmatic Rabelais, revealing a side of him that is often overshadowed by his more notorious literary persona. It serves as a reminder that behind the provocative words and scandalous stories, there was a complex and multifaceted man who lived and breathed in 16th-century France.
