About the artist: Jacob Philipp Hackert
Varajsest ja kunstiline alus
Jacob Philipp Hackert astus kunstimaailna 1737. aastal, olles sündinud Prenzlau's, Brandenburgis – piirkonnas, mis asub tänapäeval Saksamaal. Tema kasvatus oli sügavalt kunstiga segatud; tema isa, Philipp Hackert, töötas nii portretist kui ka loomamaalajana, luues nii noore Jacobi loovatele teekonnadele esialgse vundamendi. See pereliinane mõju ulatus ka tema ammaga, kelle juhendisel ta oma oskusi edasi teravdasi. 1758. aastal algas tema ametlik koolitus Berliini prestiižses Prusia Kunstiakadeemias, kus ta hoolikalt arendas tehnilisi aluseid, mis hiljem tema stiili määras. Kuid Hackerti varajane karjäär ei piirdunud vaid stuudio seinade vastu. Tema reisid viisid teda läbi Šwedimaa Pomerania ja lõpuks Stockholmi, kus oluline tellimus baroon Adolf Friedrich von Olthofilt – dekoratiivsed freskod barooni mõisale – laiendas tema kunstilisi horisontsone ja tutvustas teda erinevate esteetiliste väärtustega. Need kujundavate aastad olid Hackerti silma vormimisel ja tema karjääri suuremate lavade ette valmistamisel otsustaval tähtsusega.Itaalia äratus: Pariis, Rooma ja Napoli
Määrav tippluk $\text{u}$ Hackerti eluloos avas end 1765. ja 1768. aastatel koos kaaslase, Švitsi kunstniku Balthasar Anton Dunkeriga Pariisi asustamisega. See periood osutuks transformatiivseks, uputades ta end vibratil kunstilises keskkonnas. Ta tundis sügavat mõjutust Claude Joseph Vernetilt, kuulsalt maastiku- ja merelaasmalariilt, imeldes Verneti draamatilisi kompositsioone ja atmosfäärseid efekte oma kasvavas stiilis. Samas tähendas saksa graveerija Johann Georg Wille juhendamine tema täpsuse ja detailide hoolikuse täiendavat lihkimist. 1768. aastal alustas Hackert teekonda, mis muutas tema kunstilise suuna igavesti – ta kolis koos vennaga Georgiga Itaalia riiki, asudes peamiselt Rooma ja Napoli linndes. See liikumine märkis algust erakordselt viljakale perioodile, mida kütus arvult sayıda tellimus Itaaliale, eriti Sir William Hamiltonilt. Ta läbis Itaalia kogu laiuse ja sügavuse, dokumenteerides hoolikalt selle ilu ning saades tunnust kui meistrina maastikumaalustes. Itaalia poolsa valgus, värvid ja kõige olemus võlus teda, muutudes tema töögi määravaks omaduseks.86. aastal, luues sõpruse, mis tõi tema intellektuaalse staatuse veelgi kõrgemale.
