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: £2800

This eighteenth century Grand Tour oil painting on canvas comes from the circle of Jacob Philipp Hackert. Executed in the Neoclassical style, the artwork depicts an oval topographical landscape featuring a lake, distant mountains, trees, figures, and grazing sheep under a luminous sky. The piece is housed in a heavy rectangular giltwood frame finished in a warm gold tone, displaying ornate corner leaf scrolls and gilded spandrels around the oval aperture. The frame measures 43 cm high, 38 cm wide, and 4 cm deep. Suitable for traditional and formal interiors, this cabinet-sized artwork works well displayed above a sideboard or integrated into a gallery wall in a living room, hallway, or study. The compact proportions allow for versatile placement in smaller residential spaces while maintaining a strong decorative presence. The painting retains its original frame with a sympathetically refinished sanded gilt slip and benefits from recent cleaning.

FAQs

Grand Tour landscape paintings were produced during the 18th century for wealthy European travellers touring Italy and classical sites. They typically feature idealised, serene views of Italianate scenery, ancient ruins, lakes, and rolling hills, rendered with balanced composition and soft, atmospheric lighting.

Paintings from this era were primarily executed in oil on linen canvas or wooden panels. Frames were typically handcrafted from carved timber, gilded with gold leaf over a bole base, and adorned with classical mouldings or acanthus scrolls.

Authentic period paintings display age-appropriate craquelure across the paint surface, natural darkening or oxidisation of varnish on the canvas reverse, and signs of hand-carved joinery or original gilding wear on the frame.

Classical oil paintings serve as visual anchors when placed above traditional mantels, sideboards, or console tables. They contrast effectively against modern minimalist backdrop walls or complement richer, traditional colour schemes in formal living spaces.

Display the artwork away from direct sunlight, moisture, and central heating sources. Clean gently using a soft dry brush for the giltwood frame, and consult a professional conservator for canvas cleaning or varnish restoration.
