: There's no such thing as an Erasmian style in painting. This could lead to confusion.

frescoes of Erasmist inspiration
No se trata de un estilo pictórico, sino de una corriente de pensamiento que influyó en los contenidos del arte religioso.
De Wikipedia:
El erasmismo fue una corriente ideológica y estética dentro del Humanismo renacentista, centrada en las ideas del holandés Erasmo de Rotterdam (1466-1536)

From "A History of the Inquisition of Spain", Volume Three, by
Henry Charles Lea, on the online library of the Academy of Research Historians of Medieval Spain (http://libro.uca.edu/lea3/8lea3.htm):
[...]The danger impending over Erasmists is still more forcibly illustrated by the case of one who was regarded as perhaps the foremost among them in Spain. No man stood higher for learning and culture than Doctor Juan de Vergara[...] Charles left Spain the same year, carrying with him some of the most powerful protectors of the Erasmists, and the inquisitors, who were largely [415] frailes [...]
[...] among them was Bernardino de Tovar, also an Erasmist, half-brother of Vergara, who incurred her enmity by rescuing him from her clutches. [...]

Patricia Rosas
: I think your solution ("inspiration") is good and realistic, but there is no such word as "Erasmist" -- the adj. form is Erasmian

The adjective doesn't refer directly to Erasmus, but to erasmism, as I explained.
