Salvator Rosa

Salvator Rosa was a seventeenth-century Italian Baroque painter. He is also known as an engraver, poet and actor.

Salvator Rosa left a very diverse artistic heritage. He was interested in historical, religious, mythological and fantastic subjects, he painted landscapes, battle scenes, portraits, still lifes. Having joined the naturalists of the Neapolitan school of painting, Rosa, however, showed originality in his treatment of subjects. For example, in his paintings on historical themes he combined realistic images with fantastical composition.

The biography of Rosa himself, full of adventures, subsequently became the subject of legends, books, paintings and musical works.

Works of Salvator Rosa today are represented in many museums and private collections in Europe and Russia.
