The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.

The idyllic realms of Campania, especially the enchanting views of the coasts around Naples, accompanied by picturesque ruins and staffage figures, were among the most popular subjects of the international painting circles based in the Gulf metropolis. Although Jakob Wilhelm Huber dated the present work with a reference to Naples, it was probably painted in Zurich, as the artist fled in a hurry from the capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which was beset by revolutionary unrest, to his hometown Zurich in 1820. Although he planned to return to Italy, he remained in Switzerland throughout his life and continued to create oil paintings based on drawings depicting landscapes of his beloved adopted homeland.
