Philipp Peter Roos was a German painter and son of the painter Johann Heinrich Roos and brother of the painter Johann Melchior Roos. He was trained first by his father and from 1677 in Rome by the church painter Giacinto Brandi, his father-in-law. Roos, in the family tradition, was active as an animal painter. He often painted shepherds and flocks in landscapes. On the occasion of his marriage he had to convert to Catholicism. Because of his frequent changes of residence, he was said to lead an unsteady life. Finally he settled in a dilapidated house near Tivoli, where he drew the animals of his own herd. His place of residence was derided as “Noah’s Ark” by fellow artists. (Source: Wikipedia)
