sandrart

Sandrart.net (A net-based research platform on the history of art and culture in the 17th century) was a project funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. While being located at the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main/Germany and the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence (Max-Planck-Institut)/Italy, it was carried out in cooperation with a number of other institutions.

The project’s main goal was an annotated, enriched and web-based edition of Joachim von Sandrart’s Teutscher Academie der Edlen Bau, Bild- und Mahlerey-Künste (1675–80), one of the most important source texts of the early modern period. Having lived and worked in a number of places throughout Europe, Sandrart’s biographical background makes his writings (with first-hand narrations on art, artists and art collections) a work of European dimension.
