18th Century Oil on Canvas Italian Biblical Painting Moses Striking the Rock

About the Item

Italian school of the first half of the 18th century. Oil on canvas artwork of considerable size and excellent pictorial quality depicting a splendid landscape with a biblical scene in the background, Moses Striking the Rock. Painting attributable to the painter Jacob Roos known as Rosa da Napoli (1682-1730), lacking authenticity. He was one of the best animal painters active in Italy at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Philip's eldest son Peter Roos will work in the family workshop and his painting will also be influenced by the work of Domenico Brandi. In an Arcadian atmosphere, a myriad of characters and animals are about to drink from the river created thanks to the miracle of Moses. We find a woman on horseback with two camels in tow, some farmers and a black servant with a container in his hands. The animals are numerous and masterfully painted, from the camels already mentioned to the deer at the top left, then cows, sheep, goats and a very sweet shepherd dog. Beautifully decorated lacquered wooden frame, with some signs of aging. Painting that has undergone a conservative restoration with relining, replacement of the frame and color recovery in some places, overall in a good state of conservation. Sight size H 123 x W 176 cm.
