EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned painting titled "Portrait Erasmus Rotterdam Study Room 2nd half". Created during the 16th and 17th centuries, this oil on oak masterpiece measures approximately 36 x 25.5 cm. Although unmarked, it bears a fascinating inscription on the background wall: D. ERAS. ROTRO, Obiit basilee Jam Septua =, genarius An. d, . xpo nato. M. D. xxxvi. iiii [?] Iuli. The artist behind this remarkable work is believed to be Hans Holbein d. J. , an influential painter from Augsburg (born around 1497/98 - passed away in London in 1543). However, there is some debate regarding whether this particular piece was created by him or someone else from the Basler Meister school during the same period. The portrait captures Erasmus of Rotterdam in his study room—a space that witnessed countless intellectual pursuits and scholarly endeavors throughout history. The image exudes a sense of wisdom and contemplation as Erasmus sits amidst books and manuscripts, surrounded by knowledge. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery displayed but also provides a glimpse into the life and legacy of one of history's most influential thinkers—Erasmus of Rotterdam—an individual whose ideas continue to shape our understanding of literature, philosophy, and humanism today.
