His only recorded work was a series of paintings, which he executed in 1674, in the chapel of the Hotel de Ville at Marseilles, but these were some years ago destroyed during an alteration of the building. He died in Paris in 1692.
SARRAZIN, Jacqdes, the elder, the famous French sculptor, born at Noyon in 1588, painted a few pictures. D'Argenville speaks of a 'Holy Family' and four medallions at the'Minimes' in Paris, 80 beautiful that they might be taken for the work of Lesueur. In the Rennes Museum there is a pencil drawing by him, and Duret engraved some of his Madonnas. He died in Paris in 1660.

She is said to have died in 1891, but the date is uncertain.

SABTARELLI. See Saltarello,
SARTI, Antonio, an Italian painter, practising about 1600, mentioned by Baldassini in his 'Storia di Jesi,' where he highly commends a 'Circumcision' in the collegiate church of Massaccio.
SARTI, Ercole, called II Muto di Ficaeolo, was born at Ficarolo, a town in the duchy of Fer- rara, in 1593, of a respectable family, and was deaf and dumb from his birth. Before he was sixteen years of age, on the occasion of a solemn procession, he placed on the front of his father's house a picture he had painted in secret, representing the ' Adoration of the Magi.' This unexpected production was the object of general astonishment, and its author was placed under Carlo Bononi, at Ferrara. He afterwards imitated the style of Ippolito Scarsellino, his contemporary. The principal pictures of Sarti are in the church of the Benedictines, in his native town. He also painted a portrait of Pope Sylvester, now in the Costabili Gallery. He died about 1637.
SARTO. Andrea del. See Andrea d'Agnolo.
SARTORI, Enrico, Italian painter; born at Parma in 1831, where he received his first instruc- tion ; made his name as a landscape painter, and six of his works, mostly views of Parma, are now to be seen in the Art Gallery of that city. He died in 1889.
SARTORI US, Jakob Christopher, an engraver of Niiremberg, whose portraits and book-illus- trations bear dates from 1694 to 1737.
SARTORIUS, J. F., the elder son of John N. Sartorius, born about 1775, and dying about 1830. He was, like his father and grandfather, a painter of sporting subjects, but it is not very easy to distinguish his works from those of his father, as he frequently signed them with his surname only. There is a large collection of . works by the family at Elsenham Hall, and Sir Walter Gilbey wrote articles on the Sartorius family in ' Rally's Magazine ' for January and February 1897, and these are almost the onlj' sources of information respecting him and his father. He exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1802, and was then resident at Holborn. His , best picture is a portrait of the Marchioness of Salisbury riding at Hatfield, which appeared at ] the Academy in 1806. He resided in 1797 in King j Street, Holborn, afterwards at 90, Newman Street, and then in King's Road, Chelsea, eventually moving to 3, Queen's Elms, Chelsea (where he died), and having a studio in Bedford Street, W.C.
SARTORIUS, John N. This artist is believed to have been born about 1755, and is said to have died in 1828. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1781 to 1824, and his pictures are of sporting subjects, most of them horses and dogs and hunting-scenes. Very many of them were engraved in mezzotint and aquatint by such engravers as Walker, Webb, and Peltro. His best -known picture, perhaps, represents the famous horse 'Eclipse,' but this was executed from a pencil drawing done by his father, Francis Sartorius. Many of his best pictures belong to Sir Walter Gilbey, whose articles in ' Baily's Magazine,' January and February 1897, contain all the information that is known respecting him. He resided first in Wells Street, Oxford Street, then successively at 109, St. Martin's Lane : 2, Spur Street ; 14, Stephen Street ; and 9, Percy Street, Eventually he went to 17, Bolsover Street, and had a studio at 39, Bedford Street, Covcnt Garden.
