The classically-trained painter Joseph Anton Koch was a father-figure to many German-speaking artists who visited Rome in the early nineteenth century. He renewed the genre of heroic landscape painting, which had been established by the seventeenth-century French masters Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin. Koch's fame rests on this iconic image, which he referred to as a "Greek landscape." It is the fourth and final version of a composition he first painted in 1805 (Staatliche Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
