Michael Angelo Rooker

Michael Angelo Rooker (1743 - 1801) was active/lived in United Kingdom.  Michael Rooker is known for Painting.

Rooker received training from his father, the artist Edward Rooker (c.1712-1774), alongside the landscape artist Paul Sandby (1731-1809). Rooker's skill as an architectural painter, for which he was best known, was likely further informed by his experience as a scene painter at the Haymarket Theatre, allowing him to depict streets and their surrounding buildings with convincing detail and depth. In 1788, he began to make annual tours of the country, producing a large number of watercolours and a few oil paintings of famous abbeys, architectural ruins and public buildings. The present work, dating to c.1775, illustrates his preoccupation with romantic, dilapidated facades, the bustling activity of the stonemasons among the rubble contrasting with the pristine tower of the chapel of Merton College beyond.   ...  [Displaying 815 of 969 characters.]  Artist bio
