About the piece

Attributed to Philipp Peter Roos, known as Rosa da Tivoli, this c. 1700 oil painting captures the rugged beauty of the Roman Campagna. The composition masterfully depicts the varied textures of the goats' coats and their imposing horns, set against a backdrop of crumbling ruins that evokes a sense of timeless rural life.
