Rosa Di Napoli
  • Biography

    Jacob Roos, called Rosa di Napoli was born in Rome in March 1682, son of Philipp Peter Roos who was known as Rosa da Tivoli. He was born in Frankfort, Germany and enjoyed a successful career as painter of animals and landscapes. Jacob in turn adopted the style of his father.

    Unsurprisingly he lived and worked in Naples and Benezit observes that it is difficult to distinguish the sons work from his fathers. Seven large Italian landscapes are attributed to him and are to be found at the Résidence de Wurzburg.
