Context

Castles, Ruins and Other Buildings

The buildings in Segers’s topographical prints and paintings are usually depicted from a great distance and subsumed in the landscape. Architecture, however, did capture his interest, but judging from the buildings encountered in his etchings, they are primarily related to structures from a far-flung past: imaginary or not, they are medieval castles, ancient ruins or old houses.²See 'Castles, Ruins and Other Buildings', in E. Haverkamp-Begemann, Hercules Segers: The Complete Etchings, with a Supplement on Johannes Ruischer by E. Trautscholdt, Amsterdam and The Hague 1973, pp. 37-39. Moreover, in seventeenth-century inventories, mention is made of four small painted 'ruins' ('ruïnes') by his hand.³At his death in 1627, the art dealer Louis Rocourt (1599-1627) had two small 'ruyntges' by Segers in his shop (see A. Bredius, Künstler-Inventare: Urkunden zur Geschichte der holländischen Kunst des XVIten, XVIIten und XVIIIten Jahrhunderts, 8 vols., The Hague 1915-22 (Quellenstudien zur holländischen Kunstgeschichte, 5-7, 10-14), II (1916), p. 444). In 1627 Johannes de Renialme (c. 1600-1657) owned a 'ruins' by Segers valued at 15 guilders (ibid., I (1915), p. 13). In an estate inventory of a house in The Hague drawn up by the occupant Hendrick Heuck (c. 1600-1677) in 1669, 'a ruins by Hercules' ('een ruwintien van Hercules') is mentioned. The Hague, Gemeentearchief, Notary D. van den Bossche, NA 826, dated 10 January 1669. The structure of stones and dilapidated, overgrown walls, like the weathered rocks in mountain landscapes, appear to be an ideal subject for Segers’s restless etching needle and graphic experiments.

The artist

Biography

Hercules Segers (Haarlem c. 1589/90 - ? 1633/40)

No baptismal record has been found, but he was probably born in Haarlem in c. 1589/90.⁴This summary is based on J. van der Veen, ‘”Hercules Segers, disregarded and yet a great artist”: A Sketch of his Life’, in H. Leeflang and P. Roelofs (eds.), Hercules Segers: Painter, Etcher, 2 vols., exh. cat. Amsterdam (Rijksmuseum)/New York (Metropolitan Museum of Art) 2016-17, I, pp. 17-36. The artist mentioned his age twice: once in 1614 stating he was a twenty-four-year-old man from Haarlem and once in 1623 were he mentions he is about thirty-four years old.⁵Amsterdam, Stadsarchief, DTB 418, p. 280 (27 December 1614); Amsterdam, Stadsarchief, Notary J. Warnaertz, NA 691(III), fol. 43r-v (25 March 1623). His parents, Pieter Segers (c. 1564-1611/12) and Cathelijne Hercules (d. after 1618), both came from Ghent. Hercules was most likely their second son, since he was named after the patronymic of his mother. Whether he had more siblings than his younger brother, Laurens (c. 1592/93-after 1616), is not known.⁶Amsterdam, Stadsarchief, DTB 420, p. 267 (13 August 1616).

Hercules’ father was a merchant in Haarlem and Amsterdam, but chose for his son another profession.⁷In 1607 Peter Segers gave his age as forty-three and his occupations as ‘grocer’ (‘crudenier’); Amsterdam, Stadsarchief, Notary F. van Banchem, NA 5075, inv. no. 262, fols. 252v-253 (5 April 1607); I.H. van Eeghen, ’De ouders van Hercules Segers’, Maandblad Amstelodamum 55 (1968), no. 4, pp. 74-75. The denomination of the family is unknown, but mostly likely they were not Mennonites, as often claimed in the literature. Hercules became an apprentice of the painter Gillis van Coninxloo (1544-1606/07), a landscape artist from Antwerp, who had a workshop at his house on the Oude Turfmarkt.⁸The inventory of Van Coninxloo mentions a debt of 16 guilders and 9 stuivers owed by Pieter Segers for his son’s training; Amsterdam, Stadsarchief, Notary F. van Banchem, NA 262, fols. 68v-88 (11-19 January 1607), esp. fol. 85v. Following Van Coninxloo’s death, Segers undoubtedly finished his training in another workshop. However, no documents have survived to confirm this.⁹J. van der Veen, ‘”Hercules Segers, disregarded and yet a great artist”: A Sketch of his Life’, in H. Leeflang and P. Roelofs (eds.), Hercules Segers: Painter, Etcher, 2 vols., exh. cat. Amsterdam (Rijksmuseum)/New York (Metropolitan Museum of Art) 2016-17, I, p. 19.

In 1612 Segers left Amsterdam and settled in Haarlem. His name appears in the registration of the Guild of St. Luke of 1612.¹⁰H. Miedema, De archiefbescheiden van het St. Lukasgilde te Haarlem, 2 vols., Alphen aan den Rijn 1980, II, p. 1035. In the summer of 1614 Segers was again documented as living in Amsterdam, together with his extramarital daughter, Nelletje Hercules (?-?). At the age of twenty-four, he married the forty-year-old Anna van der Bruggen (c. 1574-?).¹¹Amsterdam, Stadsarchief, DTB 418, p. 280 (27 December 1614). Apparently, he was doing well financially, able in 1619 to purchase a large new house on the Lindengracht in Amsterdam called De Hertog van Gelre.¹²Amsterdam, Stadsarchief, Archive 5062, inv. no. 39, fol. 382 (14 May 1619). In his etching View through the Window of Segers’s House toward the Noorderkerk (HB 41, inv. no RP-P-H-OB-857), he captured the view from a window in the attic of that house. A decade later, his fortunes changed and he had to sell his house and dismantle his workshop. He moved to Utrecht in 1631.¹³Amsterdam, Stadsarchief, Archive 5061, inv. no. 2166, fol. 90 (4 January 1631); the official transfer took place on 25 November 1632; see J.Z. Kannegieter, ‘Het huis van Hercules Segers op de Lindengracht te Amsterdam’, Oud Holland 59 (1942), nos. 5/6, p. 155; Het Utrechts Archief, Notary G. van Waey, NA U019a003, vol. 118, fol. 106r-v (15 May 1631). Segers seems to have been active as an art dealer. In May 1631 he sold around 137 paintings to the Amsterdam dealer Jean Antonio Romiti (?-?), including a painting by the young Rembrandt (1606-1669).¹⁴J. van der Veen, ‘”Hercules Segers, disregarded and yet a great artist”: A Sketch of his Life’, in H. Leeflang and P. Roelofs (eds.), Hercules Segers: Painter, Etcher, 2 vols., exh. cat. Amsterdam (Rijksmuseum)/New York (Metropolitan Museum of Art) 2016-17, I, p. 28. In 1632 he was living in The Hague and was involved in the sale of about 180 paintings. The only other evidence of his stay there are two documents of 1633, one concerning the art deal and the other regarding the rental of a house.¹⁵The Hague, Gemeentearchief, Notary G. van Warmenhuysen, NA 18, fol. 177r-v, (28 January 1633); Ibid., NA 18, fol. 179r-v (13 February 1633); A. Bredius, ‘Iets over Hercules Segers’, in F.D.O. Obreen, Archief voor Nederlandsche kunstgeschiedenis. Verzameling van meerendeels onuitgegeven berichten en mededeelingen betreffende Nederlandsche schilders, plaatsnijders, beeldhouwers, bouwmeesters, juweliers, goud- en zilverdrijvers…, 7 vols., Rotterdam, 1877-90, IV (1882), pp. 314-15. His name does not appear again in the archives, not even in burial records. He probably died between 1633 and 1640.¹⁶J. van der Veen, ‘”Hercules Segers, disregarded and yet a great artist”: A Sketch of his Life’, in H. Leeflang and P. Roelofs (eds.), Hercules Segers: Painter, Etcher, 2 vols., exh. cat. Amsterdam (Rijksmuseum)/New York (Metropolitan Museum of Art) 2016-17, I, p. 29.

Segers addressed himself multiple times as painter, such as on 28 January 1633 when he was mentioned as ‘painter, at present living in The Hague’ (‘schilder, jegenwoordigh wonende alhier in Den Hage’).¹⁷The Hague, Gemeentearchief, Notary G. van Warmenhuysen, NA 18, fol. 177r-v (28 January 1633). However, it is his highly original printed oeuvre to which the artist owes his present day fame. Although he specialized in mountain landscapes, it is doubtful if he ever saw a mountain in real life. His depictions of ancient Italian ruins all derive from prints by other artists, and it is unlikely he travelled to Italy himself.

One painting by Segers suggests that he travelled to the Southern Netherlands. His topographical View of Brussels from the Northeast in the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Cologne (P 16, inv. no. WRM Dep. 249) is in all probability a reflection of a visit to that city.¹⁸J. van der Veen, ‘”Hercules Segers, disregarded and yet a great artist”: A Sketch of his Life’, in H. Leeflang and P. Roelofs (eds.), Hercules Segers: Painter, Etcher, 2 vols., exh. cat. Amsterdam (Rijksmuseum)/New York (Metropolitan Museum of Art) 2016-17, I, p. 19 (n. 31). His landscapes and city views depicting places in the provinces of Holland, Utrecht and Gelderland are also most likely based on personal observations and drawings ‘from life’.

Samuel van Hoogstraten (1627-1678) was the only contemporary to write about Segers. In his Inleyding tot de hooge schoole der schilderkunst (Introduction to the Academy of Painting) of 1678, he described an artist who had great talent but did not receive much recognition during his life. Shortly after his death, however, his prints were most sought after by art lovers who were willing to pay enormous prices for impressions of his prints.¹⁹See the first appendix in ibid., pp. 17-36. However this may be, there are indications that Segers’s work was appreciated during his lifetime and well into the seventeenth century by a small group of art lovers and artists.²⁰Ibid., p. 17.

The paintings that can be attributed to Segers with certainty are a Woodland Path in a private collection in Norway, four mountain landscapes (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; Mauritshuis, The Hague; Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence), five Dutch panoramic landscapes (two in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin; National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh; LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur, Münster, on loan from a private collection; private collection in the Netherlands), four hybrid landscapes (private collection in Brussels; Galerie Hans, Hamburg; Museo Thyssen Bornemisza, Madrid; Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam) and a View of Brussels (Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne). His etchings are extremely rare. In total fifty-three different etchings have survived in 182 impressions – twenty-two of which are unique. Twenty-four of the known etchings depict mountain landscapes, two Biblical scenes, eight panoramic landscapes, six forest-landscapes and trees, eleven ruins and other buildings, four seascapes and ships, and three extraordinary prints show a rearing horse, a skull and a still life with books.

The chronology of Segers’s oeuvre is hard to determine because none of his works is dated. His development as an artist between 1615 and 1630 has traditionally been described as that of a specialist in mountain landscapes based on the tradition set by Pieter Bruegel (1526/30-1569) and his successors towards a pioneer in Dutch panoramic landscapes. Dendrochronological research on the panels he used, however, suggests that Segers made different types of work throughout his career. He created a new kind of panoramic views with a lowered horizon and impressive skies that anticipated the works of the younger generation of specialists in Dutch landscapes, such as Pieter de Molijn (1595-1661) and Jan van Goyen (1596-1656). Simultaneously he created, both in painting and etching, fantastic mountain views and mountain landscapes.

Segers’s graphic experiments with tone and colour are closely related to his work as a painter. The materials he used for his prints, such as pigments, priming and linen, are what one expects to find in a seventeenth-century painter’s workshop rather than in that of a printmaker. Segers’s etchings bear witness to an exceptionally inventive use of printmaking techniques. No printmaker before him had experimented on such a grand scale with the possibilities of copper-plates, etching grounds, etching needles and other graphic tools or with printing and touching-up in colour.

Entry

Two of Seger’s architectural prints include parts of the ruins of Brederode Castle (HB 39, inv. no. RP-P-H-OB-855 and the present work). Located in the village of Santpoort, 5 km north-west of Haarlem, this castle was founded in the thirteenth century by a member of the noble Brederode family.²¹H.J. Calkoen, Velsen. Grepen uit de geschiedenis van een oude woonplaats in Kennemerland, IJmuiden 1967, pp. 56-62; M. J. Kuipers-Verbuijs, Ruïnes in Nederland, Zwolle and Zeist 1997, pp. 239-45. In 1426, at the time of the Hook and Cod wars, the castle was destroyed at the behest of the Haarlem city council after a failed attack on the city by rebel noblemen and peasants headed by Willem van Brederode (1380-1451). It was partially rebuilt in 1478. Spanish officers billeted there after the Spanish conquered Haarlem in 1573. During the relief of the city in 1576 by the troops of William I, Prince of Orange (1533-1584), the Spanish blew up the habitable part of the house with gunpowder. Despite, or perhaps thanks to, this tragic history, Brederode Castle was a popular destination for outings from Haarlem and elsewhere.²²H.

No other Dutch ruins or castles were depicted as often by artists in the seventeenth century as Brederode.

Willem Buytewech (c. 1592-1624), who, like Segers, settled in Haarlem circa 1612, depicted various ruins, including Brederode, in his series of etchings Verscheyden lantschapjes ('Various Small Landscapes') of circa 1616 (e.g. inv. no. RP-P-BI-5315). Jan van de Velde (1593-1641), trained by Matham, also frequently used ruins, especially of Brederode, as a motif in his landscape etchings.²⁸For Buytewech, see E.

Segers’s portrayals of Brederode (HB 39 and HB 40) probably do not date from his Haarlem years (1612-14), but belong to the group of early works datable to 1618 or after,²⁹Segers based the etching with Roman ruins (HB 43) on a print published in 1618. It, too, is among the group of early works (HB 28, HB 34-36, HB 40 and HB 52-53). for they are etched without any additions in drypoint or other supplementary tone. Only a single impression of each print has survived: one on paper (HB 39), the present example on linen with a grey priming (HB 40). The latter etching depicts the castle’s east gate. In the print by Gerrit Adriaensz Gauw (?-1638) after Goltzius, it is shown as a small feature on the left of the building, but as is usual in most of the depictions of Brederode all attention is placed on the characteristic main gate. Segers’s unconventional choice to illustrate the smaller, east gate was repeated about thirty years later by Jacob van Ruisdael (c. 1629/30-1681) in a small oil on panel in the Philadelphia Museum of Art (inv. no. Cat. 564).³⁰S. Slive, Jacob van Ruisdael: A Complete Catalogue of His Paintings, Drawings and Etchings, New Haven and London 2001, no. 28. Comparison with Van Ruisdael’s virtuoso oil sketch demonstrates that Segers’s etching meticulously depicts the gate close up, with the projecting sections of the wall in the foreground and a broken arch in the background. The print shows the gate in reverse. Because the printed lines have hardly any relief, it may well be a counterproof. If so, a regular impression would have shown the ruins in the right sense, but no example of such an impression is known. The stone walls and the arch are articulated with tiny brushstrokes of highlights in yellowish-white oil paint. The colouration with light and dark grey paint creates an additional division between the various parts of the building. The yellowish-white paint used for the whole of the furthest wall was subsequently covered in grey by Segers, probably by mistake. The low vantage-point from which the viewer looks at the gate resembles that of the wayfarers in the print after Goltzius who look up at the imposing castle ruins.

Segers’s second portrayal of the ruins of Brederode (HB 39), also includes an unexpected feature, namely the small gate on the west side.³¹The same gate in an even more ruinous condition is depicted in an anonymous late seventeenth-century drawing, that was on the Leiden art market in 2015; see RKDimages, no. 1001203921, https://rkd.nl/explore/images/262617. This print, too, must rely on one or more drawings made on the spot. It presents the building very precisely, but in reverse. The detailed way in which the stone walls and the vegetation are drawn recalls the working manner of Buytewech, though in his small prints from circa 1616 he shows himself to be a more proficient draughtsman and etcher than Segers in these early works. Segers’s two etchings of the ruins of Brederode Castle are both from the collection of Michiel Hinloopen (1619-1708). Like other prints by him from this seventeenth-century collection, they probably stem from his workshop estate. The small etching is marred by spots and damage, and in the other an error in the colouration is corrected. Both impressions are unique and were probably working material not intended for sale.
