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. |
