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.
