Catalogue Note
Jakob Philipp Hackert was one of the great German landscape painters of the 18th Century. From early in his career he acquired a reputation for his precise and carefully detailed drawings. After his arrival in Rome in 1768 the artist started to explore the surroundings and picturesque locations outside the city, using them as subjects for many drawings and paintings. In 1786 Hackert became court painter to the King of Naples, Ferdinand IV. The terms of his contract allowed him three months a year for himself, so he could travel outside Naples and find inspiration for his paintings in other locations.
