Johann Jacob Hoch belonged to a family of painters from Mainz and was sent by Elector Friedrich Carl to study in Vienna in 1778.
Hoch's work was influenced by the Romantic movement, which emphasised the value of nature, emotion and individual expression. He often depicted idyllic landscapes, rustic scenes and genre subjects, conveying the charm and tranquillity of rural life.
