EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Erasmus of Rotterdam, 1517" by Quentin Metsys. The artwork, originally painted on panel and later transferred to canvas, is housed in the Palazzo Corsini at Gallerie Nazionali Barberini Corsini in Rome, Italy. The portrait depicts Erasmus of Rotterdam, a renowned philosopher and scholar who lived from 1469 to 1536. In this masterpiece, Metsys skillfully captures Erasmus's intellectual essence and contemplative nature. The painting portrays him seated at a writing desk adorned with books and manuscripts—a symbol of his profound dedication to education and scholarship.
