Summary

DescriptionSK-A-1709.jpg	English: Lake Zurich by Jan Hackaert, ca. 1660. Hackaert belongs to the Dutch Italianates, the name given to painters able to capture the golden sunlight of Italy. It is unclear whether he ever actually travelled to Italy. What is certain is that he lived for many years in Switzerland, where he made drawings in the environs of Zurich. He relied on such studies for this panoramic view – it is one of the earliest topographical renderings of the Alps. Nederlands: Het meer van Zürich bij Jan Hackaert, ca. 1660. Hackaert hoort bij de Italianisanten, schilders die het gouden Italiaanse zonlicht konden vastleggen. Het is niet duidelijk of hij ooit in Italië geweest is. Wel is bekend dat hij jaren in Zwitserland woonde en tekeningen maakte in de omgeving van Zürich. Dit vergezicht kwam voort uit die studies – het is een van de vroegste topografische landschappen van de Alpen.
