Hogers often chose moments of high tension or moral weight. In De afgoderij van koning Salomo, he depicts the king at a point of spiritual failure. His compositions often feature groups of figures gathered in the foreground. He used strong chiaroscuro to define form. His figures possess a sculptural quality that suggests a study of classical statues. Works like Opwekking van Lazarus demonstrate his ability to manage large groups within a single frame.

Modern collectors value Hogers for his narrative clarity. Works like The Meeting of Jacob and Esau offer a sense of human drama. The dark backgrounds and focused lighting create a moody atmosphere for contemporary interiors. These prints provide a connection to the Dutch history painting tradition. They avoid the excessive clutter found in later Baroque styles. His art provides a balance between historical storytelling and visual simplicity.
