Philipp Peter Roos, called Rosa from Tivoli
Sankt Goar / Frankfurt am Main, 30 August 1657 - Rome, 17 January 1706.
German painter and engraver of the Baroque period.
It belonged to a well-known family of German painters and engravers: his father was Johann Heinrich Roos, the most important German animal painter of the seventeenth century.
He arrived in Italy in 1677 with a scholarship from the Langravio di Assia.
He studied in Rome with Giacinto Brandi and in 1861 he married his daughter, Maria Isabella, after embracing the Catholic faith.
In 1684-1685 he bought a house near Tivoli, which earned him the nickname Rosa da Tivoli.
