==Rome== Rome was at that time of fundamental importance not only to artists of all stripes but—as the religious centre of Christianity—especially to artists prepared to re-create a spiritually inspired art, seeking for inspiration in the art of the [[Middle Ages]] and of the early [[Renaissance]] and living a nearly monastic existence similar to the medieval artist's workshop (with almost entirely Christian patrons), a reason why the artists' group was named according to the medieval [[Guild of Saint Luke|guilds of painters]] or ''Lukasbund ''(Brotherhood of St Luke). In 1816, Veit joined the brotherhood which inhabited—or had occupied—the abandoned monastery of [[Sant'Isidoro a Capo le Case|Sant'Isidoro]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Locher |first=Hubert |title=Deutsche Malerei im 19.

The commission was given to Schadow and his young compatriots with the selected subject of Joseph and his brethren. While ''The Bloody Coat'' and ''Joseph in Prison'' were conferred to Schadow, Veit executed ''[[Potiphar's wife]]'' and the ''Seven Years of Great Abundance'' (in 1867, the frescoes were sold by the Zuccari family to the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin). In 1817, Veit received the commission for a fresco in the Museo Chiaramonti (part of the [[Vatican Museums|Vatican]], set out in the long loggia which joins the Palace of Belvedere with the Vatican) with the allegorical subject of ''The Triumph of the Religion''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Macchi |first=David |date=22 October 2014 |title=Vatican Museums – Chiaramonti Museum |url=http://romapedia.blogspot.com/2014/10/vatican-museums-chiaramonti-museum-old.html |access-date=15 April 2022 |website=Romapedia}}</ref> A simultaneous replica (executed in oil on canvas) was exhibited in 1819 in the Palazzo Caffarelli on the [[Capitol Hill]] and is today part of the collection of the National Gallery in Berlin.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Suhr |first=Norbert |title=Philipp Veit (1793–1877): Leben und Werk eines Nazareners.

Still in Rome in 1824, Veit was depicted as a member of German artists' circles in [[Franz Ludwig Catel|Franz Ludwig Catel's]] famous group portrait ''Crown Prince Ludwig in the Spanish Wine Tavern in Rome''; Veit is said to be the person sitting between the two standing figures of von Wagner and Dr. Ringseis on the right side of the table. In 1829–30, Veit executed a [[Immaculate Conception|''Maria Immaculata'']] for the Capella Orsini (a northern chapel) of [[Santa Trinità dei Monti]], moreover the last work of his Roman period, with clear stylistic impact of Raphael and Perugino.
