About the piece

This 1778 landscape by Jacob Philipp Hackert captures a serene pastoral moment along a river. In the foreground, figures rest in the shade of ancient trees surrounded by grazing sheep and goats, while a classical temple overlooks the water from a rocky outcrop. The soft, luminous atmosphere and meticulous detail exemplify the Neoclassical interest in idealized nature.
