Erasmus of Rotterdam 1526 Albrecht Dürer German A Roman Catholic reformer and one the most important Netherlandish humanists, Erasmus of Rotterdam held a deep admiration for Albrecht Dürer, whom he praised in a eulogy as the greatest of graphic artists: "And is it not more wonderful to accomplish without the blandishment of colors what Apelles accomplished with their aid" In likening Dürer to Apelles—indeed, in asserting the German's superiority over the Greek artist—Erasmus echoed a tradition dating back to antiquity of judging artists and the visual character of their work by the standards set by their predecessors. Dürer would certainly have appreciated the praise for his graphic talents. The portrait amply demonstrates the virtuous effects Dürer was able to achieve without the benefit of color or a liquid medium. Convincingly aligned at an angle to the picture plane, Erasmus stands writing in his study, with the books that indicate his substantial intellect and scholarship arrange
