COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
Hercules Seghers was one of the most original landscape artists of the first decades of the 17th century. A pupil of Gillis van Coninxloo and a contemporary of Hendrick Avercamp, his work is influenced by the late 16th-century Flemish Mannerists, although Seghers is more interested in the visionary and fantastical aspects of their work - as seen in the paintings of Savery - than in their realist side.
