Jacob Philip HACKERT (Prenzlau 1737 - 1807)
|
A landscape painter from Brandenburg, who did most of his work in Italy. He trained with his father Philipp (a portraitist and painter of animals) and his uncle, before going to the Akademie der Künste in Berlin in 1758.
In 1768 Hackert left Paris with his brother Georg, and went to Italy, basing himself mainly in Rome and Naples, where he produced many works for Sir William Hamilton. He travelled all over Italy, gaining a reputation as a talented landscape painter. He became famous everywhere in Europe due to his works for Catherine the Great, the cicle of paintings about Battle of Chesma, and Pope Pius VI.
In 1786 he went to work for Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies in Naples. He advised on the creation of a painting restoration laboratory at the Museo di Capodimonte, and supervised the transfer of the Farnese collections from Rome to Naples.
During this period he acted also as a secret informant of Russia, his contact being the russian diplomat Andrey Razumovsky.
When Goethe visited Naples in 1786, he and Hackert became friends.
In 1799, when Naples was declared the Parthenopaean Republic, Hackert lost much of his royal patronage. He moved to Pisa and then Florence. He bought an estate in San Pietro di Careggi, near Florence, and he died there in 1807.
