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.
