They are called landscapes,
the magnificent etchings of Hercules Segers. But his work has little to do with
reality. What do you actually see? Accurate rhythmic lines, excellent bright
compositions and a beautiful use of light and dark. Together that could reflect
a landscape, but it becomes a dreamed representation of a new space. The power
lies in the imagination. Hercules Segers magnifies the mystery.
