Biographical information

Active in

Amsterdam (stad) 1640 - 1652
In Amsterdam Roos was trained in history painting by Guilliam du Gardijn (from 1647 on), in landscape painting by Cornelis de Bie and in portraiture by Barent Graat. He copied a painting by Rembrandt in Amsterdam c. 1650 (RKDimages 276155). Roos left Amsterdam in 1651 or 1652 (H. Jedding in: Turner et al. 1996). According to Saur 2018 the supposed trip to Italy (1652-1653) probably never took placce. Roos obviously used engravings as a source for both the appearance of the Campagna landscape and the ruins (H. Jedding in: Turner et al. 1996).
Mainz 1653
Sankt Goar 1654 - 1659
from 1654 to 1659 Roos was employed at the court of Landgrave Ernst von Hessen-Kassel in Rheinfels, where he painted a 'Portrait of A Prince' in 1654 and religious scenes for the castle chapel and his first pastoral idylls (H. Jedding in: Turner et al. 1996). He and his brother Theodore probably worked on the decoration of Castle Rheinfels which had been ruined by the French in 1642 (Jedding 1998, p. 13).
Heidelberg 1664 - 1667
became court painter in 1664 for Karl I Ludwig Palatine in Heidelberg (Saur 2018). According to Houbraken, he became court painter here in 1673 (Houbraken 1719, p. 277).
Kassel (Hessen)
His hunting and animal paintings were engraved here by Bartholomäus Kilian.
Frankfurt am Main 1667 - 1685
received civil right in 1668

Graat, Barend

Followed by This field mentions the artist’s emulators. Although students can naturally also be followers, they are not mentioned again here. What is meant by followers are those who continue to work in the spirit of a predecessor. Sometimes this may happen a century later; there is no time limit. What is at issue, however, is that someone’s oeuvre must substantially follow in the manner of the artist emulated.: Kobell, Wilhelm von
Lentzner, Johann Nikolaus
Influenced by In contrast with ‘follower of’, we speak of ‘influenced by’ when an artist was influenced outside the context of an educational setting or servile following. An artist can be influenced by several artists at once, or in succession. In addition, there may be question of a transition to a personal style which may demonstrate development.: Berchem, Nicolaes
Jardin, Karel du

the landscape painters Nicolaes Berchem and Karel Dujardin were influential on Roos’s development of the pastoral idyl
Influence on This field specifies the artists influenced by the artist in question, without there being question of an educational setting or servile following.: Leeuw, Govert van der
Huet, Jean-Baptiste (I)

Subjects This field specifies the various subject categories or genres that constitute the oeuvre of the artist in question. The contents of this field are generally based more on the documentation available at the RKD than on the literature.: animal painting (genre), genre, history (genre), italianate, landscape (genre)
