"Erasmus of Rotterdam" is a celebrated portrait by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1526. The work is a depiction of the Dutch Renaissance humanist, theologian, and scholar Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam, who was one of the most influential figures of his time in the fields of theology, classical studies, and the early humanist movement. The portrait is renowned for its meticulous detail and the insightful representation of Erasmus's character, which Dürer achieved through his masterful engraving techniques.

The portrait is executed in the medium of engraving, a process that involves incising a design onto a hard, usually flat surface, by cutting grooves into it. Dürer was a pioneer in this medium, and his engravings are noted for their incredible detail, precision, and expressive line work. "Erasmus of Rotterdam" is no exception, showcasing Dürer's skill in capturing the textures of fabrics, the softness of flesh, and the intellectual spirit of his sitter.

In the portrait, Erasmus is depicted seated at a desk, engrossed in his writing. The setting is likely his study, a space befitting a scholar of his stature. He is shown with a book and a quill in hand, symbols of his scholarly pursuits. The portrait is not only a testament to Erasmus's intellectual legacy but also a reflection of the humanist emphasis on education, knowledge, and the potential of the individual.

"Erasmus of Rotterdam" is held in high esteem not only for its artistic excellence but also for its historical significance. It serves as a visual document of the intellectual climate of the Renaissance and the exchange of ideas between leading thinkers of the time. Dürer and Erasmus were in correspondence, and their mutual respect is evident in the care with which Dürer rendered Erasmus's likeness.

Today, the portrait remains an important work in the oeuvre of Albrecht Dürer and a key image in the study of Renaissance portraiture. It is housed in a number of collections in the form of prints, as the original copper engraving plate allowed for multiple impressions to be made, thus disseminating the image of Erasmus widely across Europe. The portrait continues to be studied and admired for its artistic brilliance and its embodiment of the Renaissance spirit.
