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.
