Work
Roosenboom was a landscape painter and printmaker. Like his master Schelfhout he painted summer landscapes as well as river and beach scenes. He specialized in and became famous for his winter landscapes. Schelfhout and Roosenboom's work is situated in the Dutch Romantic movement, which was a reaction to the decline in popularity of Dutch landscape painting. The international Romantic movement, which had swept across Europe, arrived late in The Netherlands. Landscape painting took central stage in Dutch Romanticism and was based mainly on a revaluation of Dutch 17th century landscapes. Started at the end of the 18th century the movement dominated Dutch painting for about 70 years. One of the key figures of this group was Andreas Schelfhout, whom contemporary art critics dubbed "the Claude Lorrain of the Winter Scene".
