Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

Hamilton, Karl Wilhelm de Nachfolge
1668 Brüssel - 1754 Augsburg.
Follower of Karl Wilhelm de Hamilton. Sottobosco. Oil on canvas. Unsigned. Small holes in the canvas. Restored.
This type of forest floor still life, called Sottobosco, represents a particular sort of still life painting in the 17th Century. Pioneer and main representative of this genre is Otto Marseus van Schrieck. Presented are insights into biotopes with wild growing flowers, various plants, roots and undergrowth, populated by small animals like lizards, frogs and insects, mostly in seemingly mysterious lighting or held in the dark. After his return from Italy van Schrieck caused a real run on those forest floor still life paintings which lasted for almost two decades. His pupils Matthias Withoos and Elias van den Broeck continued to produce paintings from this genre, whereby the landscape aspect became increasingly important over time. The strong influence of Otto Marseus van Schrieck is also clearly visible in works by Jan Davidsz. de Heem, Abraham Mignon, Rachel Ruysch and Karl Wilhelm de Hamilton, who is a direct follower of van Schrieck and an important representative of the Sottobosco genre.

1668 Brüssel - 1754 Augsburg.
Sottobosco. Öl auf Leinwand. Unsign. Kl. Löcher in der Leinwand. Altrest.
Der Bildtypus des Waldbodenstilllebens, Sottobosco genannt, stellt eine besondere Form der Stilllebenmalerei dar. Als Hauptvertreter dieses Genre gilt Otto Marseus van Schrieck. Dargestellt sind Einblicke in Biotope mit wild wachsenden Blumen, diversen Pflanzen, Wurzelwerk und Gestrüpp, bevölkert von kleinen Tieren wie Eidechsen, Fröschen und Insekten, meist in mysteriös anmutender Beleuchtung oder im Dunkel gehalten. Nach seiner Rückkehr aus Italien löste van Schrieck eine regelrechte Mode für diese Waldstillleben aus, die nahezu zwei Jahrzehnte anhielt. Seine Schüler Matthias Withoos und Elias van den Broeck führten den Typus des Sottobosco weiter, wobei im Laufe der Zeit der landschaftliche Aspekt immer mehr an Bedeutung gewann. Der starke Einfluss Otto Marseus van Schriecks ist auch in Werken von Jan Davidsz. de Heem, Abraham Mignon, Rachel Ruysch und Karl Wilhelm de Hamilton spürbar, der als direkter Nachfolger Schriecks und wichtiger Vertreter des Sottobosco-Genres gesehen werden kann.
