Biography

Jose Andres Rossi was born in Madrid. His surname appears as Rossi, Rosi, Roszi, Roso or Rosso in different texts. The fact that he signed with a double "s" suggests an Italian ancestry (though it was often subsequently changed to "Rosi" in the inscriptions of many of his prints). Rossi attended the

in addition to pursuing his own career as an artist; In 1814 he was named "Lieutenant Director of Painting" in the Royal Academy of the Three Noble Arts (now known as the Royal Academy of Fine Arts), where he also lectured. Rossi trained artists such as Juan Pérez de Villamayor when he arrived in Seville in 1825. In 1829 his role as Lieutenant Director was re-confirmed. In 1835 was asked to join a commission to catalogue art pieces that would be used to create a new museum in Seville along with Juan de Astorga and José Domínguez Becquer, among others. In 1841, by order of Queen Isabell II (then under Espartero's regency), he also carried out an inventory of paintings from the Academy of the Three Noble Arts. In 1845 he joined the sculpture department in the same academy, along with Juan de Astorga and Jose Maria Gutierrez.
