Hercules Segers Painter, Etcher

His mountain landscapes and vistas bear witness to an unbounded imagination. Segers was a pioneering etcher, who developed wholly individual, arcane techniques for his colourful etchings. Poets and artists down through the ages have been inspired by his poetic and melancholic paintings and prints. Rembrandt owned no fewer than eight of his paintings.

This richly illustrated text volume contains a biography and essays on various aspects of Segers' art, followed b in-depth descriptions of all prints and paintings.

The contributions are written by specialists in different disciplines and based on new historical, art historical and technical research. The research, conducted under the auspices of the Rijksmuseum, provides not only new attributions, but also a wealth of information about the life and work of this wonderful and fascinating artist.
