Daniel Seiter was born in Vienna but trained as a painter in Venice and Rome, and in 1688 moved to Turin to work for Duke Vittorio Amadeo II. One of his many paintings for the Palazzo Reale was a canvas set into the ceiling of the Duke’s bedroom, depicting the moon goddess Diana gazing enraptured at the beautiful shepherd Endymion asleep among the satyrs and putti of the wilderness.
