About the Item

Jules-Arsène Garnier (1847 - 1889) Scene from Rabelais' Third Book, How Panurge Speaks to the Sibyl of Panzoust Oil on canvas 38.5 x 46.5 cm (67 x 74.8 cm with frame) Signed lower right: Jules Garnier The scene painted by Garnier is an illustration of a famous passage from Rabelais' Tiers livre de Pantagruel (1552, p.58). Panurge, unable to find an answer to his questions about the outcome of the marriage, decides to rely on the prophecy of the Sybil of Panzoust : “Au coing de la cheminée trouverent la vielle. Elle est (s’escria Epitemon) vraye Sibylle et vray portraict naïvement représeté par τη καμινοι de Homere. La vieille estoit mal en poinct, mal vestue, mal nourrie, edentée, chassieuse, courbassée, roupieuse, languoureuse, et faisoit un potaige de choux verds, avecques une couane de lard jausne, et un vieil savorados.”
