River valley, Hercules Segers, ca. 1626 - ca. 1630
Before Segers' signature was discovered, this painting was dedicated to the work of the Flemish artist Joos de Momper. The imagined mountain landscape, seen from a high point of view, and the colours - brown for the foreground, yellow for the middle plan and blue-green for the background - do indeed look 'Flemish'. Rembrandt greatly admired Segers' work: he owned eight paintings by him.
