Works by Hercules Segers
The artist Hercules Segers (c. 1589/1590 - 1633/1640) may be unfamiliar to many, but few seventeenth-century masters evoke the starry-eyed admiration of contemporary artists more than Segers. This experimental painter-printmaker, one of the most fertile artistic minds of his era, created otherworldly landscapes of astonishing originality.
