Daniel Seiter
Daniel Seiter (Seyter) , also called il cavalliere Daniele or Daniele Fiammingo (born August 6, 1647 in Vienna , † November 2, 1705 in Turin ) was a Baroque painter who spent most of his life in Italy (Venice, Rome and Turin).
Life and education
Daniel Seiter began as a draftsman for a fortress construction engineer and entered the service of Count Raimondo Montecuccoli . Around 1667 he came to Venice, where he received his first training from the German baroque painter Johann Carl Loth , who was mainly active in Venice . After a stopover in Florence, Seiter went to Rome around 1680. With the exception of the frescoes in the Roman church of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri , Seiter mainly created panel or altar paintings in Rome. He worked for some time in the studio of the master of Italian high baroque Carlo Maratta and was strongly influenced by him. Soon he had considerable success and received commissions for work in well-known churches in Rome. To make his first big order, the frescoes in the apse of the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, he received in 1681. Already in 1683 he was appointed to the Congregation dei Virtuosi al Pantheon and 1686 as Accademico di merito in the Accademia di San Luca added . The Duke of Savoy Vittorio Amedeo II summoned him to Turin in 1688 to furnish the state apartments with frescoed ceilings in the new east wing of the Palazzo Reale . In 1695 he was appointed knight of the Order of Saints Mauritius and Lazarus and in 1696 he was appointed first court painter.
