PAINTERS AND ENGRAVERS.


intrusted by the latter with the superintendence of the engraving's from statues in his gallery. Frona Rome he visited Southern Italy, returning to Ger- inany in 1637. Afterwards he spent some time in Amsterdam, but in 1649 went to Nuremberg to paint a picture of the Peace Congress, which con- tained fifty portraits. In 1672 he went to Augsburg, where he was employed in several considerable works for the Emperor Ferdinand, and for Maxi- milian, Duke of IBavaria. In his last years he resided at Nuremberg, where he established an academy, and composed several works on art. These were, ' AcademiaTedesca della Architettura. Soultura, e Pittura ; ' &c., 4 vols, in 2, folio, Niirn- berg, 1675-79; ' Iconologia Deorum, 1680;' ' Ad- miranda Sculptun-e Veteris Vestigia, 1680 ; ' ' Romse antiquae etnuvfe Theatrum, 1684 ; ' and ' Academia Artis Pictoriffi, 1683,' collected from Vasari, Ridolti, and Van Mander. But this is a Latin translation of what had already been publislied in the ' Academia Tedesca.' A uniform edition (in German) of all his works was published at Niirnberg, 1769-75, in 8 vols, folio. He died at Nuremberg in 1688. Works : Augsburg. Ch. ofS^inna. Clirist iu the Temple. Munich. Pinakothek. Portrait of a AVoman in Black. "Wurzburg. Cathedral, Descent from the Cross.

SANDRART, Johann Jakob von, the son of Jakob von Sandrart, was bom at Ratisbon in 1655. He learned the first rudiments of design from his father, and profited by the lessons of Joachim von Sandrart, his great uncle. He was an able designer as well as an engraver, and possessed a ready and inventive genius. We have some neatly executed portraits by hira, and the publications of Joachim von Sandrart are embellished with his spirited etchings. He also engraved several plates for a work entitled ' Suecia Antiqua et Hodiema.' He died at Nuremberg in 1698. The following are his principal independent prints :

Elizabeth, Princess of Brandenburg ; after A. Le Clerc. Silvius Jacob von Dunkelmann ; after the same. The Holy Family ; after Joachim von Sandrart. The Origin of Painting ; two plates, after the same. The Customs of the ancient Germans ; two plates, after the same. ..S^neas saving Auchises ; fro7n his own design.

SANDRART, Lorenz von, was probably of the same family as the other artists of the same name. His name is affixed to the frontispiece for a set of prints from Ovid's ' Metamorphoses,' by Engel- brecht, published in 1700. It is also believed that he was a painter in enamel, and was still living in 1710.

SANDRART, Susanna Mabia von, the daughter of Jakob von Sandrart, was born at Nuremberg in 1658, and instructed in design and engraving by her father. She executed several plates for the publications of Joachim von Sandrart. She married the painter Hans Paul Auer, in 1683, and after his death the bookseller W. M. Endter of Nuremberg. She died at Nuremberg in 1716. We have the fol- lowing independent prints by her :

The Feast of the Goiis ; after Raphael. The Nozze Aldubramlini ; after a design by Bartoli. A Bacchanalian subject ; inscribed Immoderatum dulce Amorum.

SANDREUTER, Hans, Swiss painter ; born at Bale in 1850. His works show the influence of Bocklin, whom he has been accused of imitating. Of this we have evidence in his ' Rebecca,' ' An der Himmelspforte,' ' Dolce far niente,' &c. His 'Landscape near B41e ' is now in the Dresden Gallery. He died at Rieken, near Bale, June 1, 1901.

SANDRINO, Tommaso, bom at Brescia in 1575, excelled in perspective and architectural views, and was not unsuccessful in history. His principal works are the ceilings of the churches of St. Faus- tino, S. Domenico, and the cathedral, at Brescia. There are also several of his works in the public buildings of Milan and Ferrara. He died in 1630.

SANDWYK, Frans van, painter, born at the Hague in 1641 or 1642. He was a pupil of Nicholas Wieling, and a member of the Pictura Society. Later, he became a military engineer in the service of the States, and was killed in battle.

SANDYS, Antony Frederick, A.N., generally called Frederick Sandys, sometimes F. K. Sandys from his habit of signing the name Frederick thus, "Fk. Sandys." This clever artist was bom at Norwich in 1832, and educated at the Norwich Grammar School, applying himself at a very early age with earnestness to drawing and painting. He never attended the Royal Academy Schools as has been stated, and was not a pupil either of Richmond or Lawrence. Lawrence he never met but for a few minutes, and his acquaintance with Richmond was only as that of a family friend, and never the relationship of pupil and teacher. His early life is said to have been influenced by the work of Jlenzel, but this also is an error, as never but once did he see illustrations of the work of this artist, and he himself stated that they made no impression whatever upon him. His education in art was entirely the work of local Norfolk art teachers and his own streimous industry when he came to London and worked on his own account, copying pictures in the National Gallery. His earliest exhibit at the Royal Academy was in 1851, before he was twenty-one years old, when he sent in a crayon portrait of Lord Henry Loftus, following it in 1854 by a smaller one of the Rev. Thomas Freeman, of Norwich. In 1856 he sent in two crayon portraits, one an anonymous

one, and the other representing the Rev. Thomas Randolph. His first exhibits in oil were two pictures sent in 1861, one called ' Oriana,' and the other a portrait of Mrs. W. H. Clabburn, of Thorpe, Norwich. It was about this time that he commenced to do some illustrations for periodicals, and his first drawing was entitled ' Portent,' done for the 'Cornhill Magazine' in 1860. In 1861 he commenced to work for 'Once a Week,' and during that and the following year produced eleven important illustrations as follows : — ' Yet once more on the Organ Play,' 'The Three Statues of Argina,' ' From my Window,' ' Rosamond, Queen of the Lombards,' ' The Sailor's Bride,' ' The King at the Gate,' ' Jacques de Gauraont,' 'The Old Chartist,' ' Harald Harfagr,' ' The Death of King Warwulf,' and ' The Boy Martyr.' In the same year he did ' Manoli ' for the ' Cornhill Magazine,' and 'Until Her Death' for 'Good Words.' His exhibits in the Royal Academy in 1862 were various. There were two pictures in oil, Mrs. Clabburn, senior, and ' King Pelles' Daughter bearing the Vessel of the Holy Grail,' one in crayons of Mrs. Doulton, a pen-and-ink drawing of 'Autumn,' and another of Mrs. Anderson Rose. In 1863 his drawing for ' Sleep ' appeared in ' Good Words,' and 'The Waiting Time' in the 'Churchman's Magazine,' while to the Academy he sent in three oil portraits, one representing Mrs. Anderson Rose,
