Philipp Peter Roos (also called Rosa da Tivoli ; born August 30, 1657 in Sankt Goar , † January 17, 1706 in Tivoli near Rome ) was a German painter .

Philipp Peter Roos was the son of the painter Johann Heinrich Roos and brother of the painter Johann Melchior Roos . He was trained first by his father and from 1677 in Rome by the church painter Giacinto Brandi (1621–1691), his father-in-law.

Roos worked, in the tradition of the family, as an animal painter . He often painted shepherds and flocks in landscapes. On the occasion of his marriage, he had to convert to Catholicism. Because of his frequent changes of residence, he was said to have had an unsteady life. Ultimately he settled in a dilapidated house near Tivoli, where he drew the animals of his own herd. His place of residence was mocked by fellow artists as "Noah's Ark".

His two sons, who also painted landscapes with animals, are Jakob Roos (* around 1682 in Rome, † around 1730 in Naples), known as "Rosa da Napoli", and Cajetan Roos (* 1690 in Rome, † 1770 in Vienna), called "Gaetano Rosa". His son Joseph Roos initially continued the family tradition, but later painted mostly religious works.
