Heroic Landscape with Rainbow. Artist: Joseph Anton Koch (Austrian, Obergibeln bei Elbigenalp 1768-1839 Rome). Dimensions: 42 3/4 x 37 3/4 in. (108.6 x 95.9 cm). Date: 1824.
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).
