Félix Bracquemond’s etching, "Hors de mon soleil, canailles!" (Panurge sortant de chez Raminagrobis), depicts the character Panurge fleeing from the home of Raminagrobis in a scene from the literary work "Gargantua and Pantagruel" by François Rabelais. In this 19th-century print, Panurge flees from the monstrous creature who is Raminagrobis and his pack of demons, illustrating a moment of the story where Panurge is looking for advice from a sorcerer. Bracquemond's etching, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection, uses dramatic shadows and powerful lines to capture the chaotic energy and suspense of the tale.
