Biography:
Joachim von Sandrart first apprenticed to engravers in Nuremberg and Prague who advised him to take up painting instead. He then traveled to Utrecht to work under Gerrit van Honthorst and traveled to London with his teacher in 1627. He spent the following seven years working in Venice, Bologna, and Rome. In 1637, Sandrart left for Amsterdam to escape the Thirty Years War. He began painting portraits in the style of Anthony van Dyck. He later moved to Bavaria and produced mainly altarpieces based on Peter Paul Ruben’s examples. The year 1670 found Sandrart in Augsburg where he founded a private academy. Not long after, he settled in Nuremberg and became the director of the city’s new academy. Known also a writer, Sandrart complied his knowledge into a book “Teutsche Akademie,” which became a major source of information for the century’s German painters.
