A műről
Opaque gouache gives weight to weathered masonry in Jacob Philipp Hackert's Temple of Hercules at Cori, a drawing of 1783 in the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. The ancient building lies southeast of Rome, near Velletri. Hackert sets its uneven walls along a diagonal that carries the eye towards the right. His Italian landscapes combined classical ideals with close attention to actual terrain and antiquities. He probably recorded this view while travelling to or from Naples, where he worked for the royal court.
A múzeum szavaival
Jakob Philip Hackert achieved international recognition with his highly finished Italian landscapes, which ally the classical ideal with topographical and archaeological accuracy. Goethe, his friend and biographer, praised the "sureness and clarity" of his drawings. Using the opaque medium of gouache, Hackert made the irregular walls and weathered surfaces of this Roman temple, southeast of Rome, almost tangible. The diagonal composition leads the gaze to the right, thereby inviting us on a journey. Hackert probably captured this view on his way to or from Naples, where he was employed at the local court.
