Getting started with the collection:
Rocky Landscape with a Road and a River
Hercules Segers, c. 1622 - c. 1625
Segers first applied a network of intersecting lines. He covered the areas that had to remain white with so-called ‘stopping-out varnish’. Segers simply left the coarse crosshatching and the foul bitten spots in the sky because they would be covered when he overpainted the impression.
