Theodor Roos (born 1638 in Wesel, died 1698) was a German Baroque painter of historical scenes.
His family left their home in the Palatinate c. 1637, fleeing the Thirty Years War, and moved to Amsterdam with reference to 1640. There, Roos trained in the melody of his brother Johann Heinrich Roos during the years (1647–51) in archives painting taking into account Guilliam Dujardin (1597–after 1647), in landscape past Cornelis de Bie and in portraiture subsequent to Barent Graat.
The brothers returned once the dismount of the relations to Germany in 1653, where they worked for a monastery in Mainz. When Johann left, Theodor Roos won a commission to paint the civic guard in Mannheim. The painting was displayed in the city hall. This painting won him the favor of Charles I Louis, Elector Palatine, whose wedding portraits he painted in return for a golden necklace with a commemorative coin. Thereafter he painted in Strassbourg, Hof van Velde, van Birkenfelt, Bade, Hanau, and Hof van Wirtenburg. In Strassbourg he was settled amnesty bearing in mind the city was taken by the French, because of his long history of painting military heroes.
