Gerold's Sohn, 1861-1875 Footnotes: The account of the first Austrian circumnavigation of the globe (1857 to 1859), 'the most ambitious enterprise ever undertaken by the Austrian navy' [Hill 1537]. The frigate Novara, under the command of Kommodore Bernhard von Wüllerstorf-Urbair, had aboard 345 officers and crew plus 7 scientists. The scientists were led by Karl Ritter von Scherzer, who was in charge of the fields of ethnography, linguistics and anthropology and statistics. The other sections were devoted to scientific discoveries - Alexander von Humboldt contributed an appendix titled 'Physikalische und geognostischiste Erinnerungen'. The collections of botanical, zoological, and cultural material brought back enriched Austrian museums and the oceanographic research, in particular in the South Pacific, revolutionized oceanography and hydrography at the time. The first coca plant investigations, in particular on St. Paul Island, made it possible to isolate cocaine in its pure form for the first time in 1860. During the circumnavigation the Novara visited, amongst other places, Rio de Janeiro, the Cape of Good Hope, Sydney, Tahiti, Valparaiso, Hong Kong, Singapore, Java, Manila, and Shanghai. Amongst the many lithographed plates and maps there are also 10 albumen photographic prints depicting details from Hindu temples, including an idol of Vishnu, and views of Java.

Jacob Philipp Hackert 1737 Prenzlau - 1807 Florenz Alter Olivenbaum bei Camaldoli. 1801. Öl auf Leinwand. Verso auf der Leinwand signiert, datiert und ortsbezeichnet 'Filippo Hackert dipinse à Camaldoli in Toscana 1801'. 67 x 50 cm (26,3 x 19,6 in). Mit einem schriftlichen Gutachten von Frau Dr. Claudia Nordhoff, Rom, im Mai 2023. PROVENIENZ: Privatsammlung Berlin. In den 1790er Jahren beginnt Jacob Phillip Hackert mit Zeichnugen und Gemälden in der Umgebung des Klosters der Camaldulensermönche sowie höher in den Bergen gelegenen Einsiedelei San Eremo im weiteren Umland von Florenz. Hackert schreibt an Goethe, dass ihn in der dortigen Landschaft vor allem die Bäume interessieren. Eingebettet in die Landschaft oder wie in den Veduten häufig zu beobachten als eine Art Repoussoir zur Bestimmung der „Fernung“ wie Hackert es nennt, treten diese jedoch selten als bildfüllende Protagonisten auf. In den bewaldeten Hängen Camaldolis ist der Olivenbaum eher seltener anzutreffen, zu finden ist vielmehr eine variantenreiche Vegetation von Tannen, Lärchen, Kastanien, Buchen und Eichen. Diese botanische Sonderstellung sowie die emblematische Bedeutung des Olivenbaums für die Flora Italiens mag Hackert nicht zuletzt zu diesem Baumporträt angeregt haben. In nuancenreicher Feinarbeit modelliert er die knorrige, moosbewachsene Rinde des imposanten, uralten Baumes, das feine und dichte Laub, im Vordergrund gesellen sich erdig-graue Töne der flechtenbewachsenen Felsen hinzu. Die kleine Figur des Jägers mit Hund im Hintergrund, die dem Blick fast zu entgehen scheint, verdeutlicht die Größe des Olivenbaums. Neben der idealisierenden Komponente seiner Werke sind immer wieder solche von akribischer Beobachtung der Realität geprägten Gemälde ein Beweis für Hackerts intensive Reflexion malerischer Zielsetzungen und dem Hinterfragen von Gattungsnormen. [KT] Aufrufzeit: 10.06.2023 - ca. 17.31 h +/- 20 Min. Dieses Objekt wird regel- oder differenzbesteuert angeboten.ENGLISH VERSIONJacob Philipp Hackert 1737 Prenzlau - 1807 Florenz Alter Olivenbaum bei Camaldoli. 1801. Oil on canvas. Signed, dated and inscribed 'Filippo Hackert dipinse à Camaldoli in Toscana 1801' on the reverse. 67 x 50 cm (26.3 x 19.6 in). Accompanied by a written expertise issued by Dr. Claudia Nordhoff, Rome, from May 2023. PROVENANCE: Private collection Berlin. In the 1790s, Jacob Phillip Hackert began drawing and painting in the vicinity of the Camaldolese monastery and the San Eremo hermitage in the greater Florence area. Hackert wrote to Goethe that he was mainly interested in the trees embedded in the landscape. or, as it can be observed in his vedutas, as a kind of repoussoir for determining the “distance”, as Hackert calls it, while they rarely appear as protagonists. On the forest slopes of Camaldoli, olive trees are rarely found, but there is a much more varied vegetation of firs, larches, chestnuts, beeches and oaks. This special botanical position and the emblematic importance of the olive tree for the flora of Italy may have inspired Hackert to paint this tree portrait. In a fine and nuanced work method, he models the gnarled, moss-covered bark of the ancient tree, the fine and dense foliage, adding earthy-gray tones of the lichen-covered rocks in the foreground. The small figure of the hunter with his dog in the background, which almost seems to escape the eye, illustrates the size of the olive tree. In addition to the idealizing component of his works, such paintings, which are characterized by a meticulous observation of reality, are proof of Hackert's intensive reflection on painterly objectives and the questioning of genre norms.
