Jacob Philipp Hackert

Jakob Philipp Hackert, actually Philipp Hackert ( born September 15, 1737 Prenzlau, † April 28, 1807 in San Piero di Careggio, today Careggi, part of Florence ) was a German landscape painter of classicism.

Life

Jakob Philipp Hackert began his artistic training in the workshop of his father Philipp Hackert († 1786) and his uncle, a Berlin decorative painter. He attended since 1758, the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin in 1761 and made the first time with two vedutas attention to itself. Baron Adolf Friedrich Olthoff invited him to Stralsund, Rügen and Stockholm, where Hackert murals in the Town House ( today Ossenreyerstraße 1) and at his country house, the Manor House Boldevitz, executed.

The years 1765-1768 spent Hackert Balthasar Anton Dunker together with in Paris. There the landscape and marine painter Claude Joseph Vernet impressed him (1714-1789) and the engraver Johann Georg Wille (1715-1808), who accompanied him during his time in Paris and promoted.

After traveling to Normandy and Picardy 1768 he went with his brother to Italy, where he made contact with the patrons of the arts Johann Friedrich Reiffenstein and William Hamilton took place in Rome and Naples. Hackert traveled all over Italy in the sequence and soon earned a reputation as an important landscape painter. He received numerous commissions of the European nobility and in 1786 the court painter of King Ferdinand IV of Naples. In the same year Hackert met Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who won a great appreciation for the painter and took lessons from him in the drawing.

As a result of the uprising in Naples Lazzaroni fled Hackert and came across Livorno and Pisa to Florence, where he settled in 1803. He bought a small farm in the neighboring " San Piero di Carregio " ( Careggi ) and there had his studio.

After Hackert's death in 1811 Goethe wrote a biographical sketch of the landscape painter.

Hackert was in his time a highly accomplished artist. This also helped that his brother Georg paintings produced by individual stitches. He was the most respected landscape painters of the early classicism. In contrast to the Italian contemporaries such as Francesco Piranesi composed, the heroic landscapes, Hackert vistas were topographically accurate and detailed.
