At the conclusion of his pupilage he devoted himself to the study of nature, for which purpose ho would, like Backhuysen, go to sea in an open boat. From 1814 to 1817 he worked in concert with Martin Schouman, on two pictures representing the retreat of the French from Dort, and the bombardment of Algiers. Schotel received honours from his own sovereign and other crowned heads, and was a member of several academies and societies of arts. His pic- tures were at one time eagerly sought after. He died at Dort the 21st of December, 1838.

SCHRIECK, Otto Marcellis van. called Snuf-FELAER, a Dutch painter, born at Amsterdam in 1613. It is not known by whom he was instructed, but he acquired considerable celebrity by his excel- lence in a very singular branch of art. He painted reptiles, insects, and curious plants, which he de- signed with surprising fidelity, and finished with extraordinary care. He resided some time in Paris, and afterwards visited Florence, where his talents were distinguished by the Grand Duke, Naples, and Rome, where he passed several years. He painted entirely from nature, to which end he is said to have kept a kind of museum of serpents, vipers, rare insects, and other curiosities. His pictures

are found in the choicest collections in Holland.
