The Italian artist Salvator Rosa was one of the most extraordinary artistic personalities that Italy had to offer in the 17th century. The multi-talented artist made a name for himself not only as a painter and draughtsman, but also as a poet and actor. Rosa originally studied classical literature and music. Only a little later he came to art and became a pupil of the Italian painter Aniello Falcone. On a study trip in 1633 Salvator Rosa explored nature in all its facets. The works of art from this time reflected his collected impressions. The story goes that he was attacked by bandits in Abruzzo and out of necessity even took part in their raids. But the truth of the story is not confirmed. When he returned to his native Naples, he had difficulties, finding neither employment nor customers for his works. So he decided to leave for Rome. In the beginning the time there was also marked by difficulties and great poverty. In order to earn money for his livelihood, he took on numerous jobs. Besides he continued to work on his works. The enthusiasm was rewarded. He found an enthusiastic audience for his works of art in Rome. The financial upswing that came with it enabled him to invest in his own studio. There he regularly invited people interested in art to social gatherings. During this eventful time he was appointed court painter to Florence in 1640 by Cardinal Giancarlo de Medici. He carried out this activity until 1649. In the same year he returned to Rome, where he lived until his death.
Characteristic for Rosa's works are the depictions of wild nature, often with imposing mountainous landscapes. Colouring and the depiction of details such as storm clouds, rock masses and mighty trees lend a certain drama to his nature pictures. Frequently there are also persons like bandits, witches or soldiers in his paintings. These works are still among his best known today. The artist's other pictorial motifs include macabre and often gloomy scenes and pictorial motifs that take up philosophical and historical themes. Many of his original works can be admired in England today. Some of his works are also exhibited in the Louvre and in museums in Vienna, Dresden, Berlin or Munich. Numerous copper engravings have been made of his works, some of them by Salvator Rosa himself. Unfortunately, the quality of the impressions does not come close to the originals in any way. His poetry moved in the field of satire. Also in this field he made a name for himself as one of the most important satirists in Italy of his time. His works, which have been preserved to this day, are a valuable monument to the artist in the present day. But also literarily a monument was set for Rosa. E.T.A. Hoffmann, a writer of the romantic period, was inspired by the artist to write his novella Signor Formica.
