In 1786 Jacob Hackert became court painter to Ferdinand IV (1751-1825) of Naples. He was a sensitive upholder of the ideal landscape tradition of Claude, which he seasoned with touches of Romanticism. Much of his prolific output was devoted to views of famous sites, which were eagerly sought by foreign visitors to Italy. In 1777 he made a tour of Sicily with the English collectors and connoisseurs Richard Payne Knight and Charles Gore. He came from a family of artists and often collaborated with his brother Johann Gottlieb Hackert (1744-73). Goethe met Hackert in 1787 and wrote his biography in 1811. His work is exceptionally well represented at Attingham Park in Shropshire.
