A DePaul University faculty member is looking information on 12
canonization paintings of Vincent DePaul done by Detroy, Galloche,
Resout, Seret (or Siret) and Andre.  The paintings had all been
confiscated and dispersed during the French Revolution.  The faculty
member has a colleague in Paris who told her the information she seeks
is available through  the Getty's Provenance Index and he got it
somehow via computer.

According to the Getty homepage on this subject, there are two parts to
the Provenance Index, the Inventories Database and the Sale
Catalogues.  But nothing seems to be searchable online, only via cd-rom.
University of Illinois seems to have the sale catalogues, but no one there
could help today.  E-mailed to the Getty went unanswered.

Can anyone shed light on what she may need and how she can gain
access?    DePaul University is in the Chicago area.

Thank you very much for your consideration.
