Long-Lost Baroque Painting Revealed as Rare Alchemical Masterpiece
The Fedele Fischetti work was rediscovered by art dealer Christopher Bishop at a London auction.
"Contemporary art’s love affair with the occult has canonical precedent—and a newly resurfaced oil painting by Neapolitan artist Fedele Fischetti is proof. New York-based art dealer Christopher Bishop discovered Fischetti’s The Triumph of Night (ca. 1765) three years ago. After an extended period of study, he’s debuting the painting in an exhibition titled “Alchemy and the Painter” at his Upper East Side gallery through December 12."
