Under the Spell of Hercules Segers - Mireille Cornelis; Eddy de Jongh; Leonore van Sloten
Rembrandt and the moderns
KORTE INHOUD
For centuries, driven by admiration and rivalry, artists have influenced one another. Rembrandt is regarded as one of the world's greatest artists, but even he sought inspiration in the work of others he admired. He was a great lover of the work of the eccentric Northern Netherlandish landscape painter and printmaker Hercules Segers (1589/90-1633/40). Segers is one of the most intriguing figures of the Golden Age.
