Description: | This large Italianate landscape includes a shepherd, his dog and flock of sheep. The work was painted by Philipp Peter Roos, a German artist who spent much of his working life in Italy. Roos was known as 'Rosa of Tivoli' on account of the landscapes he painted in the style of Salvator Rosa. The muscular figure of the shepherd in this painting reveals the influence of Michelangelo on his work. This landscape was one of the first Continental European paintings to enter the collection at Nottingham. | Subjects: | sheep); figure; landscape; buildings and gardens animal (dog | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Roos, Philipp Peter (German painter, 1657-1706, active in Italy) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8526... | Go to resource |
