(Andrea), a celebrated painter, born at Rome in 1594. He was the disciple of Francisco Albano, whom he afterwards surpassed in taste and correctness. He distinguished himself in a very eminent degree by his paintings in fresco; and a strong emulation subsisting between him and Pietro de Cortona, they each arrived at a degree of perfection that neither of them might have known without such a competition. The works of Sacchi have such intrinsic merit, and are finished with such uncommon care and skill, as will always secure the applause of the judicious, and preserve their true value. He died in 1668.
