Hercules Seghers
".... who, on his erroneous journey through rocky ravines, cut through by raging torrents and overhanging high cliffs, between rough, torn gaps and enormous boulders, following in the footsteps of the refugee who has always been cast abroad, writes the story of his sufferings upon the earth." (See Sartor Resartus)

Since the beginning of my
studies in Berlin Charlottenburg, where I saw his etchings in the Kupferstichkabinett Berlin, I love Hercules Seghers.
