"Idyllic Landscape at Sunset" Workshop of Johann Heinrich Roos (Otterberg 1631 – Frankfurt 1685) Oil on canvas Second half of the 17th century Original gilded frame Canvas cm. 99 x 74 frame 116 x 91 Excellent condition The painting depicts a vast hilly landscape where the remains of an ancient temple and a small rural village amidst lush vegetation stand out in the center of the canvas. The scene describes a particularly serene atmosphere enlivened by some figures on the banks of a river and others near a stream, while in the foreground two horses laden with goods and a small dog playing with its owner are clearly delineated. The magnificent panorama is characterized by the warm and cool-toned light of a splendid sunset. The author of the canvas unleashes a luminous rendering of extraordinary effect with a fiery sky behind the mountains that turns blue in a fantastic play of colors. The foliage of the trees and the dense gray clouds contribute to making the atmospheric conditions even more fascinating. The work refers to the workshop of the German master Johann Heinrich Roos, the progenitor of a family of landscape painters with a pastoral character, the most famous of whom is his son Philipp Peter, known by the nickname Rosa da Tivoli for his long stay in Lazio. The painting is the synthesis of his painting where the landscape invariably expresses a bucolic environment with the presence of characters and animals, towers and ruins, villages and lush trees in backlight, always in an atmospheric context of great beauty. His works are mainly inspired by the Dutch Nicolaes Berchem and Karel Dujardin from whom he learned both the pictorial technique and the predisposition to the idyllic and pastoral landscape. The painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity in accordance with the law. Tracked shipping (DHL TRACKING) and fully insured with anti-shock packaging in a custom-made wooden case.
