Terminus, the Device of Erasmus, c. 1532. Creator: Hans Holbein (German, 1497 / 98-1543)
Terminus, the Device of Erasmus, c. 1532. In the spirit of the Italian Renaissance, Erasmus of Rotterdam (c. 1466-1536), the celebrated Dutch humanist and scholar, embraced ancient Greek and Roman literature and incorporated much of its moral and ethical messages into his own work. Holbein here conflates Erasmuss features with Terminus, the Roman god of boundaries, who defied Jupiter by maintaining his position atop Capitoline Hill. Erasmus adopted Terminus, along with the motto concedo nulli (I concede to no one), as a personal symbol for devotion and steadfastness
