Life
Quaglio, offspring of the Italian-German artist family Quaglio , eldest son of Giuseppe Quaglio , brother of Domenico II and Simon Quaglio , uncle of Angelo II and Julius Quaglio , received first lessons in his father's house, then painted landscapes in Ruysdael's manner, classical- inspired architectural pictures and Theater decorations for the Isartortheater (in particular for the “Donauweibchen” and the “Crusaders”). He traveled to Italy, including Rome , where he designed an interior view of St. Peter's Basilica . His works were praised for their perspective effect. Quaglio was hired by the court of the Bavarian Elector Karl Theodor and made the acquaintance of the Cologne collector, art and architecture historian Sulpiz Boisserée , on whose behalf he drew a view of Cologne Cathedral , among other things . These and other drawings were used as templates in the panel work Views, Cracks and Individual Parts of Cologne Cathedral, published from 1822 .
