  • Jacob Philipp Hackert was educated at the Berlin academy and is known for his impressive landscapes. Following his move to Italy, he and his brother spent several months in 1769 painting the waterfalls at Tivoli. This particular landscape-format view was only created some twenty years later, however. Hackert confined himself to an objective representation of this scene. Echoes of the Baroque are still apparent in the decoratively scrolling waves. During his time in Italy, Hackert met Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who took drawing lessons from the artist.
