By his descriptions and maps and the richness of his observations the pioneer of a more profound knowledge of the Orient. Henze III, p.610: "Als erste literarische Hauptfrucht der langen Reise veröffentlichte er in 1772 die Beschreibung von Arabien, ein Werk klassischen Gepräges, das mehr Stoff darbrachte als alle früheren europäischen Werke zusammengenommen; hinzu kam, daß es großenteils auf Autopsie basierte. N. hielt sich fern von jeder Kompilation nach anderen Autoren und trug nur vor, was er selbst beobachtet und gesammelt hatte". "His accounts are probably the best and most authentic of their day" (Cox). On Niebuhr see also Europa und die Orient, cat. 1/190.

= Millard III, 29 and p.25ff; Kat. Orn. Berlin 1942; cf. Cicognara 491. "What makes Dietterlin's decorative style so unique and important for architecture is two-fold: first, the very high artistic quality of the plates; and second, the way in which the painter (as he identifes himself on the title-page) attempts to interpret the Vitruvian and Serlian tradition of classical architecture in a private, lively, and imaginitive style that was, as one of his earlier biographers phrased it, "almost impressionistic", if not a forerunner to the German baroque".
