 Erasmus by HOLBEIN, Hans the Younger
Born in Rotterdam in 1469, Desiderius Erasmus was the greatest European scholar of the 16th century.
The scale of Erasmus' bulk within the picture space is prodigious; previously, scholars had been portrayed in book-lined studies, surrounded by the tools of their trade, musing as does Saint Jerome in Dürer's woodcut of 1514, complete with shaggy lion.
Erasmus lived through writing and above all, by correspondence; ironically, in 1533 he was to censure Holbein for delaying in Antwerp which was preventing Erasmus' mail being delivered (Holbein being the bearer).

 Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466-1536)

This drawing is Hans Holbien's Portrait of Erasmus, which he drew in a margin of Frobien's copy of the Praise of Folly.
Erasmus, when he visited Frobien, saw the drawing and wrote above it that if he were as handsome as Holbien depicted, then he should not be wanting for a wife.
This might be explained, he noted, by the fact that the engraving was done in 1526 from a sketch which Dürer made in 1520, and the intervening period had been a bad six years.
