SANDRART, JOACHIM VON (s6o6-1688), German art-historian and painter, was born at Frankfort, and after studying in Germany, Holland and England, went in 1627 to Italy, where he became famous as a portrait-painter. He subsequently revisited Holland and then settled in Nuremberg, where he died. His " Peace-Banquet, 1649 " is in the town hall there. He is best known as the author of books on art, some of them in Latin, and especially for his historical work, the Deutsche Akademie (1675-16i9), of which there is a modern edition by Sponsel (1896).
