EDITORS COMMENTS

Housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA, this masterpiece measures 9 11/16 x 7 1/2 inches (24.61 x 19.05 cm) on a sheet. Erasmus, a prominent figure in history, was not only a theologian but also an influential writer and scholar. This half-length portrait captures his intellectual essence as he is depicted engrossed in writing, surrounded by books that symbolize his vast knowledge and literary contributions. The composition exudes a sense of timeless wisdom and erudition. The meticulous details rendered by Dürer's skilled hand bring forth Erasmus' contemplative expression and dignified presence with remarkable precision. This particular print holds significant historical value as it represents an era when literature flourished under the influence of brilliant minds like Erasmus'. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and impact on both theological discourse and scholarly pursuits. Gifted to the museum by Miss Eileen Bigelow and Mrs. O. H. Ingram in memory of their mother Mrs. Alice F. Bigelow in 1965, this artwork stands as a tribute to artistic excellence intertwined with profound intellectualism—a true treasure for art enthusiasts seeking inspiration from great thinkers who have shaped our world through their words and ideas.
