Notes
English: One of a number of such small scale likenesses of famous historical figures that were produced in the workshop of Lucas Cranach the Elder after 1525. In addition to images of Erasmus, Cranach and the artists working for him also produced images of Martin Luther, Philipp Melancthon and Katarina von Bora, among others. Such portraits were quite popular among Cranach's contemporaries and serve as important historical documents that testify to the significant roles these figures held in the religious, cultural and political climate of the times and demonstrate to what extent they captivated the public's imagination. This portrait is not done from life. Rather, it is based on a famous depiction of the philosopher by Hans Holbein the Younger. similar to the autograph work by Holbein that is in the Lehman Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (acc. no. 1975.1.138), the two must share a common source or pattern.
