EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of the renowned Dutch humanist and scholar, Desiderius Erasmus. Created in 1933 by an unknown artist, this circular image captures the essence of a man who played a significant role in advocating for reform within the Church during the 16th century. Erasmus believed fervently in the superiority of religious practices from earlier times, making him a staunch advocate for change. The miniature portrait is based on an original work by Hans Holbein, showcasing his exceptional talent as an artist. The photograph is taken from "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a book featuring cigarette-card portrait miniatures of influential figures throughout history spanning four centuries. This particular edition was published in Germany during the 1930s. In this image, Erasmus exudes wisdom and intellect through his piercing gaze and thoughtful expression. As one of history's great thinkers and philosophers, he made significant contributions to education and humanism. This print serves as both a testament to Erasmus' enduring legacy and as a reminder of our collective responsibility to challenge established norms when necessary. It invites us to reflect on how individuals like Erasmus have shaped our world through their dedication to intellectual pursuits and their unwavering commitment to reforming societal institutions.
