EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing illustration of Brother Jean des Entommeurs, taken from the renowned literary work "Gargantua" by Francois Rabelais. Engraved by Paul Jonnard-Pacel, this artwork offers a glimpse into the satirical world created by Rabelais in the 16th century. In this portrait, Brother Jean des Entommeurs is depicted as a jovial figure with a prominent smile on his face. His rotund physique and distinctive moustache add to his charismatic presence. Clad in traditional religious attire, including a hooded habit and cowl, he embodies the essence of a bon viveur within religious orders. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. From Brother Jean's neatly trimmed beard to his perfectly sculpted tonsure, each element contributes to the overall composition that captures both humor and satire. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where religion played a significant role in society. The portrayal of monks and priests through art was not only meant for aesthetic appreciation but also served as social commentary on their lifestyles. This print serves as a testament to Gustave Dore's artistic prowess while highlighting religious themes prevalent during Rabelais' time. It invites us to explore deeper meanings behind seemingly simple portraits and appreciate how art can transcend centuries while still resonating with contemporary audiences today.
