EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the intellectual brilliance and scholarly wisdom of Desiderius Erasmus (1466-1536), the renowned Dutch humanist, theologian, and philosopher. The image, created in 1536, depicts Erasmus in the prime of his life, dressed in the traditional dark gown and trimmed with ermine fur, indicative of his academic status. Erasmus is shown wearing a distinctive hat, known as a "pilleus," which was a symbol of learning in the Renaissance. Erasmus, born in Rotterdam, was a central figure in the European intellectual world of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. He is known for his satirical works, such as "In Praise of Folly," and for his influential editions of the works of the early Christian Church Fathers. Erasmus's most famous work, "The Praise of Folly," is a satirical attack on the folly of human nature and the vanity of the world. The portrait also features Erasmus's scribe, Scriven, who is believed to have been responsible for copying and correcting Erasmus's manuscripts. Scriven is shown in the background, dressed in a simple brown robe, holding a quill pen and an open book. The presence of Scriven underscores the importance of the written word and the laborious process of manuscript production in the pre-printing era. This image, with its rich historical detail and intriguing composition, offers a glimpse into the world of the Dutch humanist and his intellectual circle during the 16th century. The portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of Erasmus's contributions to Western thought and the importance of the written word in the transmission of knowledge.
