Ludovico Seitz

Ludovico Seitz (June 11, 1844 – January 18, 1908), also known as Ludwig Seitz, was an Italian painter.

Son of the German painter Alexander Maximilian Seitz (1811-1888), Ludovico adhered as his father to the Nazarene movement in painting. He executed the frescoes which decorate the German Chapel of the Basilica of Loreto (1892-1902), in panes with the stories of the Blessed Virgin. This is considered his most important work. He also executed frescoes in Santa Maria dell'Anima and in the Vatican and in the Djakovo cathedral in Croatia.[1] He was director of the Pinacoteca Vaticana (part of the Vatican Museums).[2] Among his students was Rosina Mantovani Gutti.
