Jacob Philipp Hackert

View to the Tiber and St Peter's from Ponte Milvio

Oil on canvas (relined). 77 x 92 cm.
Monogrammed lower centre: Hackert (signature partially painted over and retouched).

After his stay in Paris, Jacob Philipp Hackert reached what was probably the most important stage of his artistic life in 1768: Rome! Here he immediately became commercially successful. His famous views, such as the view of the Tiber and St Peter's from the Ponte Milvio, found numerous - and wealthy - buyers, including the patron Lord Exeter. This view is one of the various views of Rome that Hackert painted for him. Other versions were also created in gouache or watercolour in the following years. One version, which is very similar to this one and also painted in the comparatively expensive technique of oil on canvas, is now in the Städel collection in Frankfurt.
