Jakob Wilhelm Hüber Explained

Jakob Wilhelm Hüber (1787 in Düsseldorf – 1871 in Zurich) 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.
