Description
Nederlands: Portret van de humanist Desiderius Erasmus. Ten halven lijve, zittend naar rechts, schrijvend in een boek.
English: This half-length portrait is a copy of the one that Quinten Massijs painted in 1517 as the companion piece to a portrait of Pieter Gillis (1486-1533), a judge and the city secretary of Antwerp. ..Both portraits were commissioned by the sitters in May 1517 and were delivered to Thomas More in Calais at the beginning of September, shortly before he left for England... On the evidence of the provenance and the painting technique it is assumed that the portrait of Erasmus in Hampton Court and the one of Peter Gillis in a private English collection are the originals by Massijs. There are three known copies of Erasmus’s portrait, including this one.
