About the piece
This evocative oil painting, created around 1700, is characteristic of the work of Philipp Peter Roos, also known as Rosa da Tivoli. It depicts a peaceful moment in the Italian Campagna, where a variety of carefully observed animals—including a resting bull, goats, and sheep—convene near a crumbling classical fountain. The warm palette and masterful treatment of light create a grounding, timeless atmosphere typical of the Roman school of landscape painting.
