EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a monstrous creature from the 19th century, originally depicted in an engraving attributed to Francois Rabelais. The fish-headed monster is part of a compendium of grotesque monsters featured in "Les songes drolatiques de Pantagruel" (The Capricious Dreams of Pantagruel), published in Paris in 1565.
The intricate details and fantastical nature of this mythical beast are truly mesmerizing, drawing viewers into a world of imagination and wonder. The artist's skillful engraving brings the monster to life, with its eerie features and otherworldly presence.
As we gaze upon this creature, we are transported back in time to the 16th century, where dreams and nightmares intertwined to create bizarre and intriguing beings. The black-and-white aesthetic adds a sense of mystery and antiquity to the image, enhancing its allure.
Francois Rabelais' influence as a writer and physician is evident in this work, as he delves into the realm of dreams and fantasy with unparalleled creativity. This engraving serves as a testament to his literary prowess and ability to captivate audiences with his vivid imagination.
Overall, this print invites us to explore the realms of onirism and allegory through the lens of artistry, reminding us of the boundless possibilities that exist within our dreams.
