Georg Abraham HACKERT (Prenzlau 1755 - Florence 1805) "Vue de Persano sur le chemin de Pestum" Original etching with burin touch-ups from a subject by Jacob Philipp Hackert (Prenzlau 1737 - Florence 1807), older brother of the author, painted in gouache in 1782 for Ferdinando IV king of the Two Sicilies where the Royal Casino was built, built by Ferdinando's father, Carlo di Borbone, between 1752 and 1754 to welcome all the guests to the numerous royal hunting trips. Beautiful printed specimen, published and sold in Naples by the author himself before 1799, the date of the transfer of the artist to Tuscany with his brother, with large margins beyond the imprint of the plate, with various defects on the edges such as small spots, and traces foxing, with a diagonal crease, of a more marked entity that can be seen in the upper left corner but overall in a good state of conservation. Absolutely uncommon. Philipp Hackert's original painting is kept today in the collection of the Royal Palace of Caserta. Bibliography: Chiarini “The landscape according to nature. Jacob Philipp Hackert and his circle ”Rome 1994 pag. 126,127, 175 and 246.
