SCHRIECK, Otto Marseus van
Dutch Baroque Era Painter, 1619-1678
Dutch painter. According to Houbraken, he travelled to Italy and stayed in Rome and Florence with the painters Matthias Withoos and Willem van Aelst, the latter his pupil at the time. Among his patrons were Ferdinando II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany (reg 1621-70). Van Hoogstraten claimed that he met van Schrieck in Rome as late as 1652. In Rome, van Schrieck was a member of the Schildersbent. About 1657 he returned with van Aelst to Amsterdam, where he had a small property and got married on 25 April 1664. An inventory of the contents of his house was made in July 1678, shortly after his death, in which more than 300 paintings are listed. Besides his own paintings, there were works by Cornelis van Poelenburch, Simon de Vlieger, Ludolf Bakhuizen, Jan Wijnants, Lucas van Leyden Related Paintings of SCHRIECK, Otto Marseus van :. | Still-life with Plants and Reptiles ery | Still-Life with Insects and Amphibians (detail) qr | Still Life with Mushrooms and Butterflies | Still-Life with Insects and Amphibians ar | Blaue Winde, Krote und Insekten | Related Artists: Carl Ludwig Brandt (22 September 1831 Holstein, Germany - 1905) was a German-born artist who worked mostly in the United States.
