Gerard Seghers (c. 17 March 1591 to 18 March 1651) was a Flemish painter, art collector, and art dealer. After a period of study and residence in Italy, he returned to Flanders, where he became one of the leading representatives of the Flemish Caravaggisti movement, before later abandoning the Caravaggist style and genre subjects to become an important painter of large altarpieces for local churches.
