Ludovico Seitz

He belonged to several Catholic artists' associations and produced numerous religious frescoes, mostly in Nazarene style, but also with hints of Historicism.

Perhaps his best known works are ceiling frescoes, commissioned by Pope Leo XIII, in the "Gallery of Candelabras" at the Apostolic Palace, which is now a part of the Vatican Museums.

He also created paintings at Sant'Ivo dei Bretoni, a French church, and the chapel at the Basilica della Santa Casa.

[3] Santa Maria dell’Anima, the German national church, has works by Seitz in the chapel dedicated to saints John of Nepomuk and Jan Sarkander, as well in the ceiling of the nave.

His students included the Bavarian church painter, Kaspar Schleibner, and the Belgian artist, Jozef Janssens, who also created religious works.
