Di Sangro!!!
"The painting proves to be a crucial document for understanding the complex esoteric worldview shared by the artist and his alleged patron, Raimondo di Sangro, 7th Prince of Sansevero (Torremaggiore, 1710 - Naples, 1771). The nobleman, known to have been the founding Grand Master of Neapolitan Freemasonry, a philosopher and alchemist, commissioned Fischetti, a palace decorator, to paint the work precisely at the time when he was most engaged in his experiments in alchemy and attempts at palingenesis, or resurrection."
