View through the Window of Segers’ House toward Noorderkerk c. 1622 - 1630

This etching by Dutch artist Hercules Segers, created between 1622 and 1630, shows a view of the Noorderkerk church in Haarlem through the window of Segers' house. This etching is characteristic of Segers’ work, which features a focus on light and shadow and a detailed yet almost abstract treatment of the subject. Segers' unique artistic vision, utilizing innovative techniques such as drypoint, helped set the stage for the development of printmaking in the 17th century. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
