Jakob Wilhelm Hüber

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jakob Wilhelm Hüber (Düsseldorf, 1787 – Zurich, 1871) was a German landscape painter of the 19th century.

While he is described as a faithful pupil of Hackert, He was influential for the painters of the School of Posillipo.[1] He is known for a series of watercolor vedute of Pompeii, painted in 1817 and first published in 1824 by Heinrich Füssli as aquatints, as Vues pittoresques de Pompéi.[2][3] Raffaelle Carelli, Achille Vianelli,[4] and Giacinto Gigante were among those who he influenced.
