EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a mesmerizing portrait of Erasmus of Rotterdam, created in 1523 using mixed media on paper and mounted on fir wood. The artwork, measuring 37.1 x 30.8 cm, is not marked but holds immense historical significance. In the foreground, Erasmus can be seen engrossed in writing, his quill delicately poised above the parchment. The intricate details of his face are beautifully captured by the artist Hans Holbein d. J. , who skillfully portrays Erasmus's contemplative expression and intellectual aura. The paper before Erasmus bears an inscription from his work "In Euangelium Marci paraphrasis per Erasmum Rotterdamu" published in Basel in 1524 by Johannes Froben. This commentary on the Gospel of Mark emphasizes that all mortals have an inherent desire for happiness implanted within them. Holbein's masterful use of mixed media brings depth and texture to the portrait, enhancing its timeless appeal. The subtle interplay between light and shadow adds a sense of realism to this depiction. This print from the Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind Holbein's creation and the profound intellect embodied by Erasmus himself. It serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring impact that great thinkers like him have had throughout history.
