appears above. A Gentleman and Lady walking; Death appears
behind a Tree in the Background. The Last Supper. Crucifixion
of S. Andrew. A set of small, upright prints, representing the Life
and Passion of Christ.
Schoreel, Jan, born at Schoreel (1495-1562). This painter was
probably the first of his country who introduced Italian art into
Holland. He loved to travel, and went to Jerusalem. On his
return he arrived in Rome just when Adrian VI. was made Pope.
Schoreel was employed by him because he was his countryman,
rather than from a love of art. The pictures known to be by
Schoreel are very few. An authentic one is in the Town Hall of
Utrecht; it represents the Virgin and Child, with donors, in a
landscape, and is a decided imitation of Michael Angelo and Raphael.
This shows him to be a good draughtsman; other works called by
his name are of vigorous conception, warm color, and excellent
execution.
Schotel, Christian, born at Dort (1787-1838). This artist was
a very eminent marine painter. His works resemble those of
Backhuysen, but are more spirited and more freely executed. His
pictures are much prized; several are in England. There is a fine
specimen at the Hague.
Schriek, Otto Marseus van, born at Amsterdam (1613-1673).
Often wrongly called Marcellis. The founder and best painter of
the plant and insect school. He excelled in representing flowers,
birds nests, serpents, butterflies, etc; he was true to nature and
powerful in color. Two of his works are in the Dresden Gall.
Schut, Cornelia, born at Antwerp (1597-1655). Vandyck
painted the portrait of Schut among the eminent artists of his coun-
try. He was a follower of Rubens, but was very weak in comparison
with that master. He painted many decorative works and also
ecclesiastical subjects. His pictures are in the galleries of Vienna
and Antwerp. There is much confusion in the accounts-of artists
by the name of Schut.
Schutz, Christian George, the Elder, born at Fldresheim (1718-
1791). A good painter of small views on the Rhine and Maine.
His works are numerous. They may be well studied in the Stadel
Institute at Frankfort.
Schwanthaler, Ludwig (1802-1848). This sculptor made
repeated visits to Rome, and seems to have chosen for his model,
the antique as revived by Thorwaldsen. His chief works are in
Munich, and comprise the interior decorations of the Glyptothek.
those for the new Kbnigsbau, two marble groups for the Walhalla,
the statue of Bavaria, fifty-four feet in height, twelve gilt bronze
statues of Bavarian sovereigns, and various other statues. He had
marvellous inventive powers and a surprisingly fruitful imagination:
in these particulars he ranks with the first of modern artists; but
