Consider literary and visual evidence of German-speaking travelers' and artists' interest in Italian folk music; observes that depictions of folk music are few and vary according to medium; moreover, that there is a lag between enthusiasm for the folk song in the literature of Sturm und Drang and the first paintings that can be seen as a response to that enthusiasm. Also notes that the Northern European notion of Italy as Arcadia became problematic in the context of the reality of Italian life. Examines writings of Heinse, Goethe and Mendelssohn; and focuses on paintings by Joseph Anton Koch, Carl Philipp Fohr, and the Swiss-born genre painter Léopold Robert.
