The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) recently acquired an oil sketch from circa 1629 by the Roman artist Andrea Sacchi (1599-1661).[1] I The Madonna and Child with Saints Ignatius of Loyola, Francis Xavier, Cosmas and Damian i (fig. 1) brings the number of Italian oil sketches housed at the DIA to four.[2] The newest addition relates to a ceiling fresco (fig. 2) of the same subject in the Old Pharmacy of the Roman College (Collegio Romano) - a school established in Rome by Saint Ignatius of Loyola in 1551 that became a bastion of education for the Jesuit order of the Roman Catholic Church.[3] Graph: Fig. As Rudolf Wittkower noted, "Even such classicising artists as Sacchi found room in their preparatory work for oil sketches, and by the end of the century and throughout the 18th century they became a normal part of the artistic practice of Roman artists."[12] Sacchi's procedure of employing the oil sketch was anomalous within the classical Roman approach to painting. Former pharmacy of the Roman College, Chiesa di Sant' Ignazio di Loyola, Rome The painted sketch is only the second picture by Andrea Sacchi to enter a museum collection in the United States.[4] A sketch also related to Sacchi's Roman College fresco is in the Fondazione Roberto Longhi, Florence (fig. 3).
