Technical Mastery and Documentation
Schaefels was a prolific illustrator for contemporary publications, including works by Jan Renier Snieders and August Snieders. His graphic work included engravings and careful, picturesque drawings. These drawings often served as studies for his larger paintings and provided historical documentation of maritime activities, such as ships and people in the port of Antwerp.
His large-scale naval compositions, which could reach up to 9 meters in length, often utilized a pseudo-Baroque design. Beyond his studio work, he was active in local politics for the Catholic Party and served on the Antwerp city council.
