Gemälde, Zeichnungen u. Grafiken 16. bis 19. Jhd. – Privatsammlung, Norddeutschland. - Der für seine Landschafts- und Architekturansichten bekannte Maler und Zeichner Wilhelm Jacob Huber war einer der vielen Künstler und Gelehrten, die im frühen 19. Jahrhundert die sogenannte "Grand Tour" nach Italien unternahm, das mit seinen antiken Stätten Roms und Kampaniens als zentraler Ort der Inspiration für die klassizistisch und romantisch geprägte Kunstauffassung galt. Mit feinster Linienzeichnung und zarten, nuancierten Farbtönen gibt Huber Architektur, topographische Details und die subtile Lichtstimmung des südlichen Italiens wieder und drückt damit damit das für seine Generation spezifische Interesse an dokumentarischer Genauigkeit und ästhetischer Idealisierung. - Papier zart gegilbt, verso mit partiellem Farbdurchschlag, hier stärker gebräunt. Insgesamt sehr gut.

Paintings, drawings and prints 16th to 19th century – Watercolour and pencil on wove paper. Inscription by another hand on the reverse. - Paper slightly yellowed, partial colour bleed-through on the reverse, more pronounced here. Overall in a very good condition. - The painter and draughtsman Wilhelm Jacob Huber, known for his landscape and architectural views, was one of many artists and scholars who undertook the so-called "Grand Tour" to Italy in the early 19th century. With its ancient sites in Rome and Campania, Italy was considered a central source of inspiration for the classical and romantic artistic conception. With the finest line drawings, he captures the architecture, topographical details and subtle lighting of southern Italy, expressing his generation's specific interest in documentary accuracy and aesthetic idealisation.
