Description: | The painting by Phillip Peter Roos, called Rosa da Tivoli, depicts a rocky landscape with sheep, goat and figures with a dog. Roos came from a German family of painters and etchers. He first trained under his father and later studied in Rome under Giacinto Brandi. Roos is best known for his paintings of domestic animals. In 1684, he bought a house near Tivoli, which is why he was called 'Rosa da Tivoli'. He kept a menagerie near the house from which he made careful studies while preserving breadth of execution. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (sheep goat dog); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Roos, Philipp Peter (German painter, 1657-1706, active in Italy) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8438... | Go to resource |
