Swiss landscape painter, Birmann was trained by his father, a stonemason, and then in the studios of various Swiss artists, including the landscape painter Johann Ludwig Aberli (1723 - 1786), who himself had been a pupil of Jean-George Wille in Paris, and who had taken an interest in the philosophy of Salomon Gessner and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It was undoubtedly under his influence that Birmann developed his taste for colourful, romantic landscapes, a taste that he continued to nurture by working with the Swiss draughtsman Abraham Louis Ducros and the Italian engraver Giovanni Volpato during his trip to Rome between 1781 and 1790. Returning to Basel in 1790, he opened a painting studio and specialised in landscapes, a field in which he trained his son Samuel (1793 - 1857), also a painter. He was also an art dealer. Located near Tivoli, Vicovaro is a picturesque town north of Rome. Its grottoes, like those at Tivoli, attracted many artists in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The romantic atmosphere and spectacular chiaroscuro created by the pile of large rocks and lush vegetation inspired Simon Denis and Jean-Charles Rémond, among other artists.
This drawing was exhibited at the Goethe Museum in Düsseldorf in 2005 and published in the exhibition catalogue (see photos).
