This is a reproduction of “The Fisher Family at Nighttime Campfire with Turbulent Sea” of 1778 by Jakob Philipp Hackert.  The artist was fifty-one years old when this was produced.  He was born in Brandenburg where he was trained by his artist father and uncle.  He studied at the Akademie der Kunste in Berlin and became very proficient in painting landscapes and murals.  He relocated to Italy, mostly in Rome and Naples, in 1768 and in 1786 he entered the court of Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies in Naples.  He received commissions from the empress of Russia and the king of France.  He fled Naples in 1799 to Florence where he died in 1807.  This work is 87 cm wide and 64.5 cm high and is in the Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany.
