This oeuvre catalogue presents a comprehensive overview of Hercules Segers, an artist born in
Haarlem and considered one of the most inspired, experimental, and original landscapists of the
Dutch Golden Age. Besides being a painter, he was an innovative printmaker whose etchings of
landscapes were often printed using coloured ink on coloured paper or cloth, hand-coloured and
often cropped to different sizes. Segers also made use of drypoint and a form of aquatint, as well
as other effects. Although his surviving paintings are rare, hundreds of prints make up a legacy
now compiled and published on the occasion of an exhibition at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Hercules Segers may be art history's greatest unknown artist. Active in early 17th-century
Holland just before Rembrandt, he created otherworldly landscapes of astonishing originality that
today are viewed as radical anticipations of modernism. Using an array of innovative techniques
that still puzzle scholars (including his famous sugar lift etching method), Segers created
extraordinarily resonant, melancholic landscapes characterized by luscious, soft lines that
resemble nothing by his contemporaries and little that has followed since.
