Description: | Philipp Peter Roos belonged to a German family of painters, although he lived and worked mostly in Rome, where he was known as 'Rosa da Tivoli'. He specialised in images of domestic animals with glimpses of the Roman Campagna in the background. However, the depiction of birds in a landscape was unusual for Roos, as his preferred subjects were goats and sheep, often accompanied by a herdsman. | Subjects: | animal (bird); landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Roos, Philipp Peter (German painter, 1657-1706, active in Italy) Æ Manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8957... | Go to resource |
