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.
