Self Portrait (_) with his Wife and Symbols of the Christian Faith after 1680

Johann Heinrich Roos's "Self Portrait (_) with his Wife and Symbols of the Christian Faith" is an oil painting that uses symbolic imagery to represent the artist's religious beliefs. The painting features Roos and his wife standing before a large stone slab that is inscribed with text. The slab is topped with a cross, which is a symbol of the Christian faith. The painting also includes other Christian symbols, such as the chalice, the serpent, and the apple. These symbols likely represent the challenges and temptations of life, which are overcome through faith in God. The painting is considered to be a work of Baroque art, as it features dramatic lighting, rich colors, and a sense of movement. The painting is currently located at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
