SARRAZIN, JACQUES (1588166o)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 222 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SARRAZIN, JACQUES (1588166o) , French painter, born at Noyon in 1588, went to Rome at an early age and worked there under a Frenchman named Anguille. Starting thus, Sarrazin speedily obtained employment from Cardinal Aldobrandini at Frascati, where he won the friendship of Domenichino, with whom he afterwards worked on the high altar of St
Andrea
  della Valle. His return to Paris, where he married a niece of Simon Vouet, was signalized by a
series
  of successes which attracted the notice of Sublet des Noyers, who entrusted to him the
work
  by which Sarrazin is best known, the decoration of the
great
  portal and the
dome
  of the western facade of the interior court of the Louvre. The famous Caryatides of the attic show the profound study of Michelangelo's art to which Sarrazin had devoted all the time he could spare from bread-winning whilst in Rome. He now executed many commissions from the queen, and was an active promoter of the foundation of the
Academy
 . The mausoleum for the heart of the prince de
Conde
  in the Jesuit church of the Rue Saint
Antoine
  was his last considerable
work
  (see Lenoir, Musa des monuments francais, v. 5); he died on the 3rd of December 166o, whilst it was in progress, and the crucifix of the altar was actually completed by one of his pupils named Gros.
