EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Desiderius Erasmus von Rotterdam, captured in the late 19th century by an anonymous German photographer. The image is a phototype reproduction of Hans Holbein the Younger's famous painting, which currently resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Erasmus (1467-1536) was a prominent Dutch theologian, philosopher, philologist, and author who made significant contributions to humanism during the Renaissance period. Known for his critical thinking and intellectual prowess, he played a crucial role in shaping religious reform and advocating for tolerance and peace. The photograph beautifully captures Erasmus' dignified presence as he gazes directly at the viewer with piercing eyes. Every detail of this iconic portrait is meticulously reproduced through the phototype process employed by Dr. Woldemar von Seidlitz (1850-1922) for his publication "Allgemeines Historisches Porträtwerk" between 1884 and 1890. Displayed against a neutral background, this black-and-white print emphasizes Erasmus' timeless wisdom and scholarly demeanor. It serves as both a tribute to one of history's most influential thinkers and an exquisite example of early photography techniques. Published by ePurix Verlag Volker Christen under non-commercial use rights from Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to appreciate Erasmus' enduring legacy while celebrating the artistry behind capturing such historical treasures on film.
