Storms, volcanic eruptions, and moonlit landscapes were the subjects More favored in order to satisfy, in particular, the taste for the Sublime of British collectors, who for many years sought out the Scottish artist in the Urbe.<br \/>\nAlthough in his own time More was compared on various occasions to Claude Lorrain for his ability to render weather and atmosphere in his paintings, equally certain is his penchant for associating elements such as water and fire in subjects that aspire to show a wild and untamed nature, preluding the Romantic vision of landscape.<br \/>\nIn the present essay, a rereading of the estate inventory of the artist, who died in Rome in 1793, has enabled the investigation of a previously unknown facet of More\u2019s activity, that is, as a teacher. From the objects recorded as present in the elegant apartment in Via Rasella it clearly emerges that he conducted an artistic academy here, and to judge by the quantity and quality of the teaching materials, one that was much admired and frequented.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Estratto dal volume speciale\u00a0Vincenzo Pacetti, Roma, L\u2019europa all\u2019epoca del Grand Tour\u00a0(2017) Jacob More \u00e8 stato uno dei pittori paesaggisti pi\u00f9 accreditati del contesto artistico romano della seconda met\u00e0 del Settecento.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13590","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bollettinodarte.cultura.gov.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bollettinodarte.cultura.gov.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bollettinodarte.cultura.gov.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bollettinodarte.cultura.gov.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bollettinodarte.cultura.gov.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13590"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bollettinodarte.cultura.gov.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13590\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13591,"href":"https:\/\/bollettinodarte.cultura.gov.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13590\/revisions\/13591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bollettinodarte.cultura.gov.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bollettinodarte.cultura.gov.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bollettinodarte.cultura.gov.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
