SANDRART, JOACHIM VON, born in
Frankfort, May
12, 1606, died in
Nuremberg, Oct.
14, 1688. German
school, history
and portrait painter.
He went to
Prague, in 1621,
to study engraving
under Sadeler,
but advised by the
latter to devote himself to painting, he repaired
to Utrecht and became pupil of Gerard
Honthorst, who took him to England.
There he saw great works by Titian, and
after having painted several portraits, went
to Venice in 1627 to study Titian and Veronese.
In Rome he painted Pope Urban
VIII., and was one of the twelve masters
selected to paint a picture for the King of
Spain. He returned to Germany in 1635,
went to Amsterdam in 1637, and to Nuremberg
in 1649 to paint the envoys to the Congress
of Peace. At Augsburg he worked
for the Elector Maximilian of Bavaria, and
the Emperor Ferdinand in 1672, and in
1674, after a second marriage, settled in
Nuremberg, where he became the main pillar
of the Academy founded in 1662. His
reputation rests chiefly upon his well-known
"German Academy," written in 1675-79.

school; pupil in school of Perugino at same
time with Manni; made free of his guild

whose style he imitates in its least interesting
features, while his colouring is like
Manni's. He aided Pinturicchio at Siena.

Gallery, has a tinge of the Raphaelesque,
and has even been attributed to Raphael.
