Summary:Twenty-three of the 180 surviving prints by 17th-century Dutch printmaker Hercules Segers are at the British Museum in London, England. An essay is presented that considers Segers' influence on Dutch printmaking in the 1960s. It focuses on Willem van Leusden, Frans (Lodewijk) Pannekoek, and Charles Donker. Segers was part of the first generation of Dutch landscape painters in the 17th century but followed the French tradition of Gilles van Coninxloo. He etched as he painted. His technique and influence are examined.
