Description

18TH CENTURY GRAND TOUR LANDSCAPE - CIRCLE OF JACOB PHILIPP HACKERT (1737-1807)

Diminutive and charming late 18th century Grand Tour landscape from the circle of Jacob Philipp Hackert

This highly detailed and atmospheric work is very much in the tradition of late 18th century Grand Tour landscapes. Painted in the oval the crisp clear rolling and cultivated foreground is populated with liliputian staffage figures and their grazing sheep.

This bucolic scene extends backwards towards a blue tinged mountain silhouette (possibly Vesuvius) beyond. The foliage of the trees encircling it, is carefully observed and highly decorative and the luminous sky and silvery water help to exude a feeling of calm.

This kind of composition, with its framed trees, distant volcano, and tranquil figures was a popular subject matter for souvenir paintings for the enlightened to bring back from their Grand Tour.

This fine work has been recently cleaned and is an excellent state of conservation. It is housed in its original frame with sanded gilt slip with has been sympathetically refinished.

Canvas: 32cm x 25cm / 13in x 19in.

Frame: 43.5cm x 38cm / 17in x 14in.

PrIce: £1200

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Grand Tour landscape paintings were created during the 17th to 19th centuries by European artists depicting idyllic views of Italy and classical vistas. These artworks were acquired by wealthy patrons travelling across Europe as cultural tokens and decorative displays for private residences.

Artwork from this period was primarily executed in oil on linen canvas or wooden panel. Frames were typically constructed from hand-carved timber coated with gesso and decorated with leaf gilding.

Authentic works exhibit natural age features such as craquelure across the paint surface, historic canvas stretchers, and oxidisation on the reverse. Giltwood frames from this era show hand-carved timber joinery and wear to the gold leaf showing red or grey bole underneath.

A classical landscape artwork functions well as a focal point mounted above a mantelpiece or minimalist console table. Pairing historical artwork with modern architecture provides contrast and depth within contemporary rooms.

Dust the frame and canvas surface gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding liquids or chemical solvents. Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, and heat sources to prevent cracking or warping.
