After Jacob Philipp Hackert (German, 1737-1807)
The Return of the Fleet from Algeria to the Bay of Naples, after 1794
gouache on laid paper
57 x 86.4cm
This painting is a large format study after Jacob Philipp Hackert's 'Return of the Fleet from Algeria to the Bay of Naples', part of the extensive Hackert collection at the Reggia di Caserta, Caserta, Italy. The original shows the volcano emitting smoke, however in the present painting Vesuvius' profile has been updated to reflect the eruption in 1794, therefore this painting is likely to have been executed after this date.
Sold for £2,200
Condition report:
Under glass, with some loss of colour, discolouration to the sea and browning to the sky, in a plain wooden frame, with brass rosettes at the corners. Foxing spots, also, to the sky and the glass is loose in the frame.
