About the piece
Painted in 1794, Jacob Philipp Hackert’s 'Ideal Landscape' captures a serene, idealized vision of Sicily centering on the ruins of the Temple of Juno at Agrigento. The composition masterfully balances the wildness of nature with classical order, placing a rushing waterfall and peaceful livestock within a frame of majestic trees and distant mountain peaks.
