Yesterday I read a member of the Oddfellows saw a flag being raised in the Land of San Carlos. The author wrote about the Many Flags that flew over the Peninsula. He described Fremont’s flag and a flag upon which the coat of arms of Charles V von Habsburg was depicted. Was there a gathering of Odd Fellows, when someone came carrying this flag, that I believe is the one above. Estep also describes John Fremont’s flag, that his wife, Jessie Benton-Fremont may have helped design. I and others suspect John was going to form a Western Nation. Is he counting the States on the Pacific Coast – then going East? I suspect Fremont was in contact with Prussian Royalty who tried to purchase California from Mexico. Was Maximillian von Habsburg in on the deal – that was reborn the day that Habsburg flag appear in San (Don) Carlos? Didn’t I declarer was the King of California after I claimed the Last Audience of the Habsburgs? What the hell is going on, here/ Am I really being guided by an angel?
This morning I found a very unusual Royal Portrait. Maria Carolina of Austria is……
THE SISTER OF MARIE ANTIONNETTE!
Original Mona Lisa painting in Louvre
She is holding a drawing of a man she wanted to be identified with – for all time! Is he my ancestor? The camera had not been invented yet, thus she resorted to Portrait Proof. There is nothing like it. Some have exploited the Mona Lisa – and a real hoax! Maria is the – the Real Deal! Yet, she is the Fifth Queen in a royal deck that lie just under the surface. Sub-rosa! I found My New Muse while studying this name
Victor Emanuel “Felix” Stuttmeister
It is on the Stuttmeister crypt in Berlin. It is……A SIGNATURE. It is the clue to the secret identity of the Stuttmeister Family – who owned much property on Berrliner Strasse. They were millionaires. Could they have purchased California for $6,000,000 dollars? Was Count Cipriani, and Carl Janke agents for this pending sale – that was put off by Royal Intrigue? But, alas – all the planets lined up? I suspect Simon Meze was an agent for the Family of The Man In The Portrait.
On this day, July 26, 2024, I John Gregory claim the land once owned by the Aguello family! It is my destiny to own this land. God – and His Angel – gave this land to me! Who are The The True People of my land? Awaken!
John Gregory Presco ‘King of California’
Here is Maria Carolina…The Royal Muse of California! She has been……….DISCOVERED!
Eureka!
EXTRA! I just published this message to the Good People of Belmont at 10:55 A.M. for those who wish to do an astrology.
“To the Good People of Belmont, let me introduce to you – your Beautiful Muse. Maria Carolina has come to waken you from your deep sleep. You are citizens of her Lost Kingdom. Wake up and behold your Destiny. The Lost Dream – has risen!”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Albert_of_Sardinia
He became king of Sardinia in 1831 on the death of his distant cousin Charles Felix, who had no heir. As king, after an initial conservative period during which he supported various European legitimist movements, he adopted the neo-Guelph idea of a federal Italy, led by the Pope and freed from the House of Habsburg in 1848. In the same year, he granted the Albertine Statute, the first Italian constitution, which remained in force until 1947.
Charles Albert led his forces against the Imperial Austrian army in the First Italian War of Independence but was abandoned by Pope Pius IX and Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies and was defeated in 1849 at the Battle of Novara, after which he abdicated in favour of his son, Victor Emmanuel II. Charles Albert died in exile a few months later in the Portuguese city of Porto.
Charles Felix (Italian: Carlo Felice Giuseppe Maria; 6 April 1765 – 27 April 1831) was the King of Sardinia and ruler of the Savoyard states from 12 March 1821 until his death in 1831. He was the last male-line member of the House of Savoy that started with Victor Amadeus I of Savoy, and caused the line of Victor Amadeus I’s younger brother Thomas Francis, Prince of Carignano to seize the throne after Felix’s death.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Carolina_of_Austria
Born an archduchess of Austria, the thirteenth child of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I, Maria Carolina married Ferdinand as part of an Austrian alliance with Spain, of which Ferdinand’s father was king. Following the birth of a male heir in 1775, Maria Carolina was admitted to the Privy Council. She dominated the Council until 1812, when she was sent back to Vienna. Like her mother, Maria Carolina arranged politically advantageous marriages for her children. Maria Carolina promoted Naples as a centre of the arts, patronising painters Jacob Philipp Hackert and Angelica Kauffman, and academics Gaetano Filangieri, Domenico Cirillo and Giuseppe Maria Galanti.
Maria Carolina, abhorring how the French treated their queen, her sister Marie Antoinette, allied Naples with Britain and Austria during the Napoleonic and French Revolutionary Wars. As a result of a failed Neapolitan invasion of French-occupied Rome, she fled to Sicily with her husband in December 1798. One month later, the Parthenopean Republic was declared, which repudiated Bourbon rule in Naples for six months. Deposed as Queen of Naples for a second time by French forces, in 1806, Maria Carolina died in Vienna in 1814, a year before her husband’s restoration to Naples.
Maria Carolina was the last surviving child of Maria Theresa. She was also the last queen of Naples and Sicily before the unification of the two into the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
Francis I (Francis Stephen; French: François Étienne; German: Franz Stefan; Italian: Francesco Stefano; 8 December 1708 – 18 August 1765)[1] was Holy Roman Emperor, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Lorraine and Bar, and Grand Duke of Tuscany. He became the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, Austria, and Tuscany through his marriage to Maria Theresa, daughter of Emperor Charles VI. Francis was the last non-Habsburg monarch of the Empire. The couple were the founders of the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty, and their marriage produced sixteen children.

Habsburg Law and Nazi Confiscation of Art and Property
Posted on June 19, 2024 by Royal Rosamond Press
On this day, I renew my effort to take possession of The Last Audience of the Habsburgs, and other property belonging to said family. This include property that still belongs to the Schwarzenberg family.

The Habsburg Law (Habsburgergesetz (in full, the Law concerning the Expulsion and the Takeover of the Assets of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine) Gesetz vom 3. April 1919 betreffend die Landesverweisung und die Übernahme des Vermögens des Hauses Habsburg-Lothringen) was a law originally passed by the Constitutional Assembly (Konstituierende Nationalversammlung) of the Republic of German-Austria, one of the successor states of dissolved Austria-Hungary, on 3 April 1919. The law legally dethroned the House of Habsburg-Lorraine as rulers of the country which had declared itself a republic on 12 November 1918, exiled them and confiscated their property. The Habsburg Law was repealed in 1935 and the Habsburg family was given back its property. However, in 1938, following the Anschluss, the Nazis reintroduced the Habsburg Law, and it was retained when Austria regained its independence after World War II.
The Habsburg Law and Rightful King of Bohemia
Posted on December 22, 2023 by Royal Rosamond Press
Christmas has come early to the rightful King of Bohemia and Jerusalem because I just discovered the Hapsburg Law. I’m looking for a International Attorney in order to claim the Last Audience of the Habsburgs, and other property owned by the Habsburgs. I highly suggest the Czech Republican consider my claim if they want to receive help from the Americas. And – provide protection for Christians who want to visit the Holy Land this Christmas.

Chapter 11 The Lost Children of Room 318
Professor John von John was in hysterics on the phone.
“The Protestant Evangelical followers of Trump are not poised to take over my Democracy – IT’S THE AUSTRIAN CATHOLICS! Biden has been playing The Bird with a broken wing. He has no intention of giving up the White House! A lineage of children were chosen by Empress Zita to go with her in exile in New York. Another group went with the Last Audience to Eugene Oregon. They have fruitful, and they have multiplied. They are getting ready to make Austria and America – GREAT AGAIN! They found the lost gold of the Aztecs!

Room 318 Imperial Hotel
Posted on July 24, 2018 by Royal Rosamond Press
I contacted Karl about the Habsburg painting.
A half hour ago, President Trump spoke to Veterans about the building of the Embassy in Jerusalem. He gave a big shout out to evangelicals who encouraged him to do this. This is why millions of Trump’s base do not care if he makes big mistakes, or, misspeaks. They are doubling down in the hope he helps the Jews build the Third Temple, which will bring about the End Times, and the destruction of most of the world. Only True Believers will be spared. It is hard to imagine, but, millions of Christians hear this Doomsday promise made every Sunday. They pray people who are not one of them – die a horrible death! If folks you know, are looking at you funny – and treating you like vermin – thank our President!
I have exposed this Terrorist Religion – as a GIANT FRAUD! Our President is exploiting it and sounding like a Crusader King. Of course this Fairytale will not come true, but, a Holy War against Iran – looms! We have a Religious Tyrant in America – as I predicted! Some Rabbis have titled Donald a ‘Messiah’.
It has been my hope to author a best seller that would trump this evil destruction. My quest begins in Room 318 of the Imperial Hotel in Vienna. An object has been found that is part of a cache of Nazi loot. It was part of the bedroom set of Empress Zita that was smuggled out of the Palace when Hitler invaded Austria. A large painting was rolled up in a carpet. There is a document identifying the un-finished children that were smuggled out of Austria by the Red Cross. Who are they? Why are they so important?
Can I awaken the sleeping millions and turn them away from a terrible self-fulfilling prophecy!

While this theology is often thought of as a “literal” reading of the Bible, it’s actually a reasonably new interpretation that dates to the 19th century and relates to the work of Bible teacher John Nelson Darby.
According to Darby, for this to happen the Jewish people must have control of Jerusalem and build a third Jewish temple on the site where the first and second temples – destroyed centuries ago by the Babylonians and Romans – once were. In Darby’s view this was a necessary precursor to the rapture, when believers would be “taken up” by Christ to escape the worst of the seven-year-period of suffering and turmoil on Earth: the Great Tribulation. This is to be followed by the cosmic battle between good and evil called Armageddon at which Satan will be defeated and Christ will establish his earthly kingdom. All of this became eminently more possible when the modern state of Israel was established in the 1940s.

” Since Dr. Robert Granitsch was married to a “half-Jew” after Nazi legislation, his three children, Susanne, born 1899, Dora, born 1904 and Lorle, born 1912, were persecuted in Austria after the Nazis’ Where Dr. Susan (!) Konirsch, née Granitsch, and Lorle Kornfeld, née Granitsch, had to flee to the USA,”
Last night I had a deep conversation with my longtime friend, Christine Wandel, who has lived in the Village of New York for over forty years. I told her about my recent discoveries regarding ‘The Last Audience of the Habsburgs’. I told her I am now guaranteed a novel that will alas give me the credibility I long for and sorely need due to the slanderous attacks I have suffered, mixed with threats. I told her I was considering playing my cards close to the vest, and not reveal the amazing Art and Liberty lessons that blossomed before me on my internet screen when I went in search of a answer to a confounding question. How and why did Arthur von Ferraris’ painting end up at the Jordon Schnitzer Museum?
I believe I have found a sound theory as to how? The clue of the rouge thread begins in Room 318 of the Imperial Hotel in Vienna where the Property Control Branch of the Allied Forces has set up a Reparation Division. Below is part of the correspondence of Susanne Granitsch-Konirsch. She is the daughter of Helene Granitsch who is standing behind Empress Zita and staring out at the intended audience, the masses, the intended viewers that never appeared because Zita and her royal family were dragged off their thrones and banished from Austria.
The Last Audience is the greatest failed work of art in history. There is a invisible family present, a famous revolutionary family surrounded by a doomed nobility. The Granitsch family were of the New Democracy. They were trying to save aspects of Habsburg Rulers, or, so it is alleged.
José Darío Argüello (1753–1828) was a Querétaro-born Californio politician, soldier, and ranchero. He served as interim Governor of Alta California and then a term as Governor of Baja California.
Biography
[edit]
José Darío Argüello was born in 1753 in Santiago de Querétaro, New Spain (present day Mexico).
Argüello enlisted in the Mexico regiment of dragoons, serving as a private, and later sergeant of the presidial company of Altar, Sonora. In 1781 he was promoted to alférez (sub-lieutenant) and commandant for what was to become the Presidio of Santa Barbara in Alta California.Founding Los Angeles
Under orders from Governor Felipe de Neve, Argüello led the first ten Los Angeles Pobladores families and their livestock overland to settle. Military commander Fernando Rivera y Moncada led the guard, until killed during a civil resistance uprising by Quechan Indians near Yuma Crossing.
Argüello and the settlers continued onward to Mission San Gabriel in today’s San Gabriel Valley. They founded the Pueblo de Los Angeles beside the Los Angeles River on September 4, 1781. This became present day Los Angeles, California.[1]Presidio commandant
He continued on to Santa Barbara when the Presidio of Santa Barbara was founded in 1782. In 1787, Argüello was appointed lieutenant and commandant of the Presidio of San Francisco, serving until 1791 and again from 1796 to 1806. In between he was commandant of the Presidio of Monterey, from 1791 to 1796.[2]Rancho de las Pulgas
In 1795, Governor Diego de Borica issued Argüello a Spanish land grant, the Rancho de las Pulgas (Ranch of the Fleas). This rancho was the largest grant on the San Francisco Peninsula consisting of 35,260 acres (142.7 km2).[3] It was in present-day San Mateo County, and encompassed contemporary San Mateo, Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City, Atherton and Menlo Park.[4][5][6]
Governor
[edit]Alta California
After the death of Governor José Joaquín de Arrillaga, Argüello was appointed acting governor of Alta California from 1814 to 1815 while he remained in Santa Barbara.Baja California
In 1815, Argüello was appointed governor of Baja California, serving until 1822. He died in Guadalajara, Jalisco, in 1828.
Family
[edit]
Argüello married Maria Ygnacia Moraga. Their daughter, Maria Concepción (María Jesús Argüello), is the subject of an early California love story, portrayed in the Russian rock opera Juno and Avos.[7]
Two of their sons came to public service in Alta California also: Luis Antonio Argüello, California’s first native-born governor (1822–1825); and Santiago Argüello, who was commandant of the Presidio of San Diego and alcalde (mayor) of Pueblo de San Diego. Other children: Teniente José Darío Argüello, Joaquín Máximo Argüello; Gervasio Argüello and Ana Gertrudis Rudecinda Argüello.[8] José Darío Argüello died in 1828, at the then quite elderly age of 75, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

What a red letter day! I fuund two newspaper items that join the Janke and Stuttmeister family. William Stuttmeister and William Janke graduated from the University of California School of Dentistry (at the same time?) and Stuttmeister may have met Augustus Janke through her brother. They got married in Ralston Hall, and took the Janke stagecoach to honeymoon in Halfmoon Bay. The two Williams grads, then opened a dental office in the Wahl Building. How ideal! This is a far cry from the newspaper accounts that slime the Janke family, that may have caused them to be dug out of their grave in the middle of the night. Alas I find a article in the Times Gazzette – that tells the truth! They were good and honest people, who ran Belmont Park – AND OWNED A LOT OF LAND! Alas – the motive!
How perfect! You got the hardware store, the drug store, the bar, and upstairs , the dentist office. I can’t use my magnifying glass. Is it possible the family names are on the window?
What could go wrong? How about the war with Germany? I suspect there was anti-German sentiments in the area. There looks like a lot of vandalism at the Union cemetery. I’m going to ask the Governor and the heads of Archeology at UC Berkeley and Stanford should do a complete study – along with Israel! We have to put an end to the hatred. We got another Hitler on our hands who is selling Lost Heritage. I am reminded of John Steinbeck. We now know William Augustus Janke owned Belmont Park and do a records search. Did her leave lot of money to his daughter Augusts who bought eight track of land in Woodcare? Where else? Did William get dug out of his grave at the Oddfellows cemetery in SF?
I should have been encouraged to bring my newspaper to Belmont – and make a new Belmont Soda! Is there a soda fountain in Ryan’s Drug Store – with ice-cream floats? I was denied my American Heritage by hostile members of the Belmont Historical Society!

EXTRA! On July 21, 2024, I found an article in the Redwood Gazzette Times about the court battle over the legacy of Pioneer Carl A. Janke. Finding out his father was dying, William A, Janke CHARTERED a locomotive in San Francisco and sped to Belmont in or get there before Carl died. What is interesting, Elizabeth Johnson is claiming FIVE ACRES near the center of Belmont. She is the mother of Doris Vannier who said Elizabeth told her the Janke grave was dug up in the middle of th night. This is evidence a LAND FIGHT took place! Is the BHS aware of this article – and fight – that I copyright!

On the 13th of Sup ten; her last) Carl Augnst Janke, of Belmont, died of the disuast) Known as diabetes, leaving three surviving children, and considerable projierty. His will has been tiled fur probate in the Super* ior Court at Redwood City, ami for the past three weeks, a protracted legal contest between the heirs has been going on. The litigation is being conducted by Fox & Ross, of Redwood, representing the contestan s, and Kincaid & Fitzpatrick, with Charles F. U Hanlon, an enterprising young advocate uf San Francisco fur the will The costs uf the suit are rapidly roiling up. Extended short hand notes of the testimony are being taken, and medical experts Lum a distance, including the distinguished Dr. Shurtlefl* of the Napa State asylum, are prolonging the issue, to the eminent satisfaction of the legal luminaries engaged in the trial. From the mass of material already extracted from the mouths of willing and unwilling witnesses, and from other information the interesting particulars which follow are extracted.
At the time of the last illness of the deceased, William August Janke, the secund son,who occupied a store in a Belmont building belonging to his father was in San Francisco. Upon receiving the news that his parent just lingered in he shadows of the unknown and the hereafter, he hastened like a dutiful son to his bedside. Chartering a locomotive he reached the bed of the dying not long before death closed around the aged man. A notary was brought from Redw‘»od, and the will was prepared and witnessed some 36 hours before the eyelids of the deceased closed on Earth forever. By the terms of the testament, the picnic grounds and resort known as Belmont park, valued all the way from twenty to thirty thousand dollars, was bequeathed to Charles F. and William A., his two sons to share alike. A sum of 53.500 in in money was left, one third each to his three children, (the two sons aforesaid, and his daughter Elizabeth the wife of a resident of Belmont named Johnson,) all of whom are residents of this county. A store in Belmont owned by the testator, was left to Mrs Johnson, together with a tive acre lot which it is claimed already belonged to her husband. The land on which this siore is, was left to the two sons, and all the personal property to the son William August Janke.
Thu contest is made on the ground of mental incapacity of the Accused, and undue influence. It is sought to be proven, that the disease from which the old man suffered, was so painful and severe that his mmd was affected. Diabetes is said by the books to be an affection of the urinary organa, and is excruciating in the extreme. Irregularity in the making of the will is also endeavored to be shown. The whereabouts of a sum of $50,000, which the dead man had from the sale of real estate in San Francisco, is a matter of great interest and anxiety to counsel. Thus far it has not been found, and if discovered, and the will is sustained as the personal property of the estate, it would add materially to the legacy of the son William August. The events surrounding the drafting of the will, substantially are, as the contestants expect to prove them, that upon the return of William A. by express, ho had an interview with his father in the sick chamber, and that the rest of the family were directed to leave the room. A witness named Schmoll translated the contents of the will to the father and children, the whole conversation being conducted in the German language. ‘ These are the principal points of contention between the lawyers, and as usual in an extended trial over an important stake they are conducting the case with vigor, and occasionally indulging themselves in a little humorous relaxation. The eminent, but juvenile jurist from San Francisco, is conducting his case with much enthusiasm. During the trial he seems to have determined to put a certain question, not only agaiqst the objection of opposing counsel, but his associates as well. Judge Kincaid thereupon retorted on him with the sarcasm—“As Senior counsel in this case your Honor I withdraw that question.” The young man submitted.

THE MASQUERADE BALL. A Very Successful Carnival in Germania Hall. The Hook and Ladder Company Pleased With Their Hall. Henutlfiil Costume*.
“ Is she a man.” “•No, I think she is a girl.” The band was playing a lively air and all the gaily decked masquers with their strange, fanciful and pretty costumes were in motion. The jovial jester, the sober monk, “ legrande dame,” ‘‘la Espanola Scnora,” the Mexican hidalgo, Italian nobleman and American gentleman were all there. A boot-black jostled against the Spaniard and Tojtsy against the dude; the ghost walked into the pumpkin and his Satanic majesty found Night to be a pleasant companion. A Chinaman tried to strike up a conversation with a couple of Southerland sisters, the representatives of the regular army got stranded near the Five Points, while the Grand Army man and several American Hug girls seemed intuitively attracted toward each other, and clowns, Italians, sailors, last year beauties, Indians, cowboys, Irishmen,, plump arms, tapir limbs, sable faces and a thousand and one gauzy, gaudy and gilded beings with filmy laces aud fairy-like dresses, floated here and there to the tinkle of bells and a tambourine, the ripple of laughtet and whispered joke, and wound in and out, up and down in a maze of delicious figures, tints and colors. It was the night of the annual masquerade ball given by the Hook and Ladder Company. Every fellow who had one had brought his sweetheart, lost her and then enjoyed the privilege of trying to find her. A clasp of the hand, a whispered word and then they recognized each other and were already for the evening’s pleasure. The fellow who did not have a sweetheart turned clown or something else and punched the fellow in the ribs who had one. Some three hundred people and over came for the privilege of sitting down, keeping still and watching other people’s fun for the two hours proceeding 11 o’clock, when every body had a chance to dance.
Many of the costumes were very pretty and those who assumed special characters were generally quite successful in carrying them out. Excellent music added to the enjoyment. The general management of the ball was good and reflected credit on the firemen in charge, who all appeared in the regulation red shirt. The decorations were harmonious and effective. Upon the right bands of red, white and blue were stretched along the side wall with groups of fans in the loupes. Fire axes were crossed and a central wreath encircled a fireman’s hat. Similar colored cloth on the left was arranged in graceful forms between the windows and emblematic ladders were hung near the tnlddfe. Kvergreen ropes rtretchetf from the four corners to the center of the room and below hung a huge wreath with a silver ladder within. Claude Fox, C. A. Jacobus, C. E. Knights, Miss Frye and Miss Minnie Stalter were appointed a committee to award the various prizes offered. Shortly before 11 o’clock they awarded them as follows: For the best sustained lady costume, “ Topsy,” Mies Gertrude Lindsey of Belmont. For the most original lady character, “Money Costume,” Miss Lulu Janke of Belmont. For the prettiest lady costume, “Fancy Dress,” Miss Frankie Morris of San Francisco. A . For the best sustained gentleman character, “ Chinaman,” James Moscow of Redwood City. For the most original gentleman costume, “Five Points,” Phil Steinhaimer of Redwood City. For the prettiest gentleman costume, “Don Carlos,” Wm. Janke. Mr. Thompson was Floor Manager and Dan Daly, P. Genochio, W. Havey and T. Thompson the Floor Committee. Antone Genochio, Dan Mullen and H. Mourot constituted the Committee of Arrangements. The Reception Committee consisted of O. Dodge, J. Daly, L. Bettannier, M. Boyd, R. Badie, J. Metes, A. Hanson, Geo. Whooton, L. Genochio and Jos. Kussell. The supper was served at Price’s Hotel, where the large dining hall had been nicely decorated with evergreen. Three tables were arranged the entire length of the room and presented a pretty Scene previous to the supper, with the crystal ware reflecting the colors of numerous bouquets. Supper was served 280 people, 140 being seated at one time.

Don Carlos (German: Don Karlos, Infant von Spanien,[nb 1][1] German pronunciation: [dɔn ˈkaʁlɔs ɪnˈfant fɔn ˈʃpaːni̯ən] ⓘ) is a (historical) tragedy in five acts by Friedrich Schiller; it was written between 1783 and 1787 and first produced in Hamburg in 1787.
Plot
[edit]
The title character is Carlos, Prince of Asturias and the play as a whole is loosely modeled on historical events in the 16th century under the reign of King Philip II of Spain. Don Carlos is a Prince of Spain, given to the Spanish Inquisition by his father (who also wants to marry Carlos’ lover) due to his Libertarian creeds. Another great Romantic character is the Marquis of Posa dying for the liberty of the Dutch Republic as well as ruling Catholic Spain during the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation.

Jacob Philipp Hackert
Jacob Philipp Hackert[1] (15 September 1737 – 28 April 1807) was a landscape painter from Brandenburg, who did most of his work in Italy.
Biography
[edit]
Hackert was born in 1737 in Prenzlau in the Margraviate of Brandenburg (now in Germany). He trained with his father Philipp (a portraitist and painter of animals) and his uncle, before going to the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin in 1758. Later he traveled to Swedish Pomerania and Stockholm, at the invitation of Adolf Friedrich von Olthof, a Swedish government official and businessman. For a time, he lived with Von Olthof and painted decorative murals at his estate.
He spent from 1765 to 1768 in Paris with the Swiss artist Balthasar Anton Dunker, where he focused on painting in gouache. He met and was inspired by Claude Joseph Vernet, who was already famous as a painter of landscapes and seascapes, and the German engraver Johann Georg Wille.
In 1768 Hackert left Paris with his brother Georg, and went to Italy, basing himself mainly in Rome and Naples, where he produced many works for Sir William Hamilton. He travelled all over Italy, gaining a reputation as a talented landscape painter. He became famous everywhere in Europe due to his works for Catherine the Great, the cycle of paintings about Battle of Chesma, and Pope Pius VI.
In 1786 he went to work for Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies in Naples. He advised on the creation of a painting restoration laboratory at the Museo di Capodimonte, suggesting the call from Rome to the court of Naples of the restorer Federico Anders [it] and supervised the transfer of the Farnese collections from Rome to Naples. As court painter realised famous pictures of Caserta and the Royal Palace of Caserta, besides the paintings series of the Bourobon’s ports.[2] During this period he acted also as a secret informant of Russia, his contact being the Russian diplomat Andrey Razumovsky.
When Goethe visited Naples in 1786, he and Hackert became friends.
Hackert had settled in a house in Posillipo. The painters Salvatore Fergola and Salvatore Giusti (1773-1845) were among his pupils.[3]
In 1799, when Naples was declared the Parthenopaean Republic, Hackert lost much of his royal patronage. He moved to Pisa and then Florence. He bought an estate in San Pietro di Careggi, near Florence, and he died there in 1807 and was buried in the so-called “Dutch garden” of Livorno. His remains were then moved to the actual cemetery of the Dutch-German Congregation.[4]
He never married and lived a good part of his life with one of his brothers but he had affairs with some married women, and from one of them he probably had a daughter.
Goethe wrote the first biography of Hackert in 1811.
