SCHÄFLER, (Schäffler, Scheffler,) Christoph Thomas, painter, was born at Augsburg about 1700. He was of the Roman Catholic faith, and became for a time a lay-brother of the Order of Jesus, but returned to a secular life. He painted in oil and in fresco many pictures for churches, amongst which we may mention his 'Death of St. Benedict,' in the clmrcli formerly belonging to the Convent at Ettal ; and works in the monastery of S. Ulrich at Augsburg, in the Capuchin church at Eichstadt, in the old chapel at Ratisbon, and in the "Congregations-Saal" at Ingolstadt. He made many designs for book illustrations.

SCHAGEN, GiLLls van, a Dutch painter, born at Alkmaar in 1G16. He was first instructed in art by Solomon van Ravestein, but was afterwards a scholar of Pieter Verbeek. When he was twenty- one years of age he went to Dantzic, where he resided some time, and painted pictures of Dutch kitchens and conversations, in imitation of the style of Ostade. He also painted portraits with success, both at Daiitzic and Elbing ; among them was a portrait of Stanislaus, King of Poland. After an absence of three years, he returned to Holland, but his restless disposition led him to visit France, where he was employed in copying the works of the best Italian and Flemish painters, for which he possessed a particular talent. On his return to Alkmaar he painted a picture of Admiral van Tromp's victory over the Spanish fleet. He has left one etching, a cottage scene, with an old man. There is a picture ascribed to him in the Bridgewater Gallery. Hedied at Alkmaar in 1668.
