Additional Information

Artist: Philipp Peter Roos (1655 ca.-1706)

Born in Frankfurt am Main in around 1655 to the painter Johann Heinrich Roos, Philipp Peter left for Rome in 1677 thanks to the benevolence of the Landgrave of Hesse, to perfect himself and then return to court. A pupil of Giacinto Brandi, Roos married his daughter and decided to stay in Italy. From 1683 he was a member of the Congregation of the Virtuosi at the Pantheon and from 1684 he moved to Tivoli and hence his nickname. He achieved great success, so much so that his paintings were requested by the main art lovers in Europe. By virtue of the speed with which he painted, it is very difficult to count his production, sometimes not always up to the level of his talent due to an unruly life dedicated to frequenting taverns, causing a discontinuous accuracy of the brush. Rosa da Tivoli was very active above all as a painter of animals (with which he surrounded himself in his home), shot in the foreground against landscape backgrounds and executed with rich color and intense luministic effects. The artist died in Rome in 1706.

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
