His experimental approach to printmaking pushed the boundaries of the etching medium, often incorporating unconventional techniques such as colour printing and hand-colouring to achieve atmospheric effects. This work, Rocky Landscape with a Gorge, demonstrates his fascination with rugged, mountainous terrain, a subject that diverged from the typical flat vistas favoured by his contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition presents a dramatic, craggy gorge that dominates the frame. Segers employs fine, precise lines to define the geological formations, creating a sense of immense scale and geological time. The inclusion of a small, distant windmill provides a sense of human proportion against the overwhelming natural environment. The upper portion of the print features distinct, sweeping lines that suggest a sky or perhaps the remnants of a secondary plate impression, a characteristic quirk of Segers's iterative process. His prints were rarely produced in large editions, as he frequently reworked his plates, leading to unique states that vary significantly in tone and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print reflects the artist's interest in the interplay between light and shadow, using the etching needle to carve out deep recesses and protruding rock faces. The monochromatic palette emphasises the texture of the stone and the starkness of the environment. Segers's work was highly regarded by later artists, including Rembrandt, who collected his prints. This piece offers a glimpse into the technical curiosity and imaginative vision that defined his career.

His approach to printmaking deviated from the standard practices of his contemporaries, as he frequently experimented with unconventional techniques and materials. This etching, depicting a rugged terrain with a deep chasm, demonstrates his preoccupation with atmospheric effects and the textures of the natural world. The composition draws the eye across a winding path into a distant, mountainous horizon, creating a sense of vastness despite the modest scale of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSegers utilised a delicate, linear technique to define the craggy rock formations and the sparse vegetation. His lines are precise, building form through density rather than heavy shading. The resulting image possesses a monochromatic, almost ethereal quality, which is characteristic of his printed oeuvre. Unlike many of his peers who sought to replicate the appearance of oil paintings, Segers embraced the specific qualities of the etching process. He often printed on prepared papers or used coloured inks to manipulate the final appearance of his impressions, showing a technical curiosity that was ahead of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular work captures the artist's ability to transform a geological subject into a meditative experience. The chasm serves as a visual anchor, dividing the foreground from the distant, hazy peaks. The lack of human activity or narrative detail allows the viewer to focus entirely on the interplay of light and form across the uneven ground. By stripping away extraneous detail, Segers invites a direct engagement with the physical reality of the terrain. His work is noted for its technical innovation and its departure from the traditional topographical styles of the seventeenth century, offering a unique perspective on the Dutch landscape tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hercules Seghers","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58526795727183,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58526822203727,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58526822236495,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58526822269263,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58526822302031,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58526822334799,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58526822367567,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58526822400335,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58526822433103,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58526822465871,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58526822498639,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58526822531407,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Rocky-Landscape-with-a-Chasm-Second-Version_Poster_CompositorV1_1786491064075.jpg?v=1787231859"},{"product_id":"rocky-landscape-with-a-man-walking-to-the-right-first-version-hercules-segers","title":"Rocky Landscape with a Man Walking to the Right, First Version - Hercules Segers","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rare, atmospheric etching by Hercules Segers, featuring a solitary figure amidst dramatic, craggy rock formations, finished with delicate watercolour and gouache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHercules Segers remains a singular figure within the Dutch Golden Age, known for his experimental approach to printmaking.

By combining traditional etching with painterly interventions, Segers created images that occupy a space between printmaking and painting, offering a distinct perspective on the architectural remnants of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hercules Seghers","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527122293071,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527147065679,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527147098447,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527147131215,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527147163983,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527147196751,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527147229519,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527147262287,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527147295055,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527147327823,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527147360591,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527147393359,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Ruins-of-Brederode-Castle_Poster_CompositorV1_1786495453077.jpg?v=1787235333"},{"product_id":"small-wooded-landscape-with-a-road-and-a-house-hercules-segers","title":"Small Wooded Landscape with a Road and a House - Hercules Segers","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate etching by Dutch master Hercules Segers, depicting a quiet, wooded path leading to a small house, rendered with fine lines on a textured surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHercules Segers remains a singular figure within the Dutch Golden Age.

This museum-grade reproduction preserves the delicate line work and the specific tonal qualities of the original etching, offering a clear view into the technical mastery of a seventeenth-century visionary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hercules Seghers","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527311724879,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527360745807,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527360778575,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527360811343,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527360844111,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527360876879,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527360909647,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527360942415,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527360975183,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527361007951,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527361040719,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527361073487,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Landscape-with-a-Steep-Cliff-Large-Version_Poster_CompositorV1_1786499475835.jpg?v=1787237715"},{"product_id":"mountain-landscape-with-a-crest-first-version-hercules-segers","title":"Mountain Landscape with a Crest, First Version - Hercules Segers","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed etching by Hercules Segers, capturing a rugged mountain scene through precise line work and atmospheric depth on a toned ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHercules Segers remains a singular figure within the Dutch Golden Age. His approach to printmaking departed from the standard practices of his contemporaries. Rather than seeking clean, uniform impressions, Segers experimented with unconventional techniques, including the use of coloured grounds and varied inking methods. This etching, Mountain Landscape with a Crest, demonstrates his preoccupation with geological forms and atmospheric depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition presents a rugged, mountainous terrain that feels both observed and imagined. Segers employs fine, precise lines to define the craggy surfaces of the central peak, while the surrounding valley remains shrouded in a sense of distance. The choice of a toned paper ground provides a mid-tone base, allowing the dark ink to suggest shadow and texture without the need for dense cross-hatching. A solitary figure stands in the foreground, providing a sense of scale against the imposing natural formations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSegers was known for his technical curiosity. He often printed on fabric or prepared papers, treating each impression as a unique object rather than a mass-produced copy. This work reflects his interest in the interplay between light and form, a concern that occupied many artists of the seventeenth century. His prints were highly valued by collectors, including Rembrandt, who owned several examples of his work. The etching captures a quiet, almost melancholic atmosphere, typical of his output. It invites close inspection of the mark-making, where the artist balances the descriptive requirements of the scene with a personal, expressive graphic style. The work is a clear example of the experimental spirit that defined his career, showing how he pushed the boundaries of the etching medium to create images that feel distinct from the traditional topographical views of his era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hercules Seghers","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527352422735,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527382470991,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527382503759,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527382536527,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527382569295,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527382602063,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527382634831,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527382667599,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527382700367,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527382733135,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527382765903,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527382798671,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Mountain-Landscape-with-a-Crest-First-Version_Poster_CompositorV1_1786500676990.jpg?v=1787238060"},{"product_id":"rocky-landscape-with-low-clouds-hercules-segers","title":"Rocky Landscape with Low Clouds - Hercules Segers","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rare and atmospheric etching by Hercules Segers, depicting a rugged mountainous scene with a focus on texture and light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHercules Segers remains one of the most experimental printmakers of the Dutch Golden Age. This work displays his characteristic approach to etching, where he manipulated the plate to create atmospheric depth and texture. The composition focuses on a rugged, mountainous terrain that feels both alien and grounded. Segers often printed his etchings on prepared fabrics or tinted papers, and his use of line here suggests a preoccupation with the physical surface of the print itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe etching technique employed by Segers differs from his contemporaries. He frequently used a drypoint needle to add soft, velvety burr to the lines, which creates a sense of hazy light and shadow. The low clouds drifting across the jagged peaks provide a sense of scale, contrasting the immense geological forms with the ephemeral nature of the weather. His work often avoids the conventional perspective of the period, opting instead for a more subjective, almost visionary interpretation of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSegers was a solitary figure, and his prints were rarely produced in large editions. He often hand-coloured his impressions, making each one a unique object. This print captures the stark, monochromatic beauty of his vision. The jagged rock formations are rendered with a dense network of lines, building up a sense of mass and weight. The sky, by contrast, is kept relatively open, allowing the viewer to focus on the interplay between the solid earth and the shifting atmosphere. This piece offers a glimpse into the mind of an artist who pushed the boundaries of the etching medium, creating images that feel modern in their abstraction and emotional intensity. It is a study in texture, light, and the quiet drama of the wilderness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hercules Seghers","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527424119119,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527449022799,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527449055567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527449088335,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527449121103,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527449153871,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527449186639,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527449219407,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527449252175,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527449284943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527449317711,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527449350479,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Rocky-Landscape-with-Low-Clouds_Poster_CompositorV1_1786502498820.jpg?v=1787240023"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/collections\/hercules-seghers.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
