JACOB ROOS, called ROSA DA NAPOLI (1682-1730) A Shepherdess with her Flock Beside a Ruined Arch; A Goatherd with his Flock Beside a Spring A pair, oil on canvas, 73.5 x 99.3cm and 72.2 x 99.5cm One signed and dated 1706 on the majolica pitcher Provenance: Purchased by Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness (1798-1868) for St. Annes, Clontarf, Dublin. Thence by descent to the present owner. Jacob Roos, called 'Rosa di Napoli' was born in Rome in March 1682, son of Philipp Peter Roos who was known as 'Rosa da Tivoli'. He was born in Frankfurt, Germany and enjoyed a successful career as painter of animals and landscapes. Jacob in turn adopted the style of his father. Unsurprisingly he lived and worked in Naples and Benezit observes that it is difficult to distinguish the son's work from his father's. Seven large Italian landscapes are attributed to him and are to be found at the Résidence de Wurzburg. These two paintings were purchased by Benjamin Lee Guinness, grandson of the founder of the eponymous brewery for his home at St. Anne's in Clontarf, Dublin. The attribution has been made by Dr Hermann Jedding author of the monograph on the Roos family.
