Schnars-Alquist formed a trade school in his native city in drawing and painting. Due to the success of different seascapes, which immediately found buyers, he became about 1884 and 1886 a student of Hans Gude at the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin. In 1888-89 he was a delegate of the German art association and a member of the jury at the world exhibition in Melbourne, founded in 1891 by Max Liebermann, Walter Leistikow and others the "union of the XI". In 1892-93 he was a member of the Reich Commission, a member of the Jury in Chicago, and in 1896 was appointed professor and moved back from Berlin to Hamburg. He was also a member of the Hamburg association of artists.
His numerous voyages to North, Central and South America, Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, Ceylon, northern and southern Europe taught him to describe the sea under all latitudes, in all seasons and in all moods. His works were owned by the German Emperor Wilhelm II. (Help in sight, 1890), the Chancellor Bernhard von Bülow (Germany, 1900), the Kunsthalle Hamburg (West, 1903), the museums in Elbing, Adelaide, St. Louis and many private collections in Germany, America, Australia etc. He also painted many pictures of the steamers of the Hamburg-America Line.

The World's Columbian Exposition, also known as the Chicago World's Fair, was a world's fair held in Chicago from May 5 to October 31, 1893, to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492. The centerpiece of the Fair, held in Jackson Park, was a large water pool representing the voyage that Columbus took to the New World. Chicago won the right to host the fair over several competing cities, including New York City; Washington, D.C.; and St. Louis. The exposition was an influential social and cultural event and had a profound effect on American architecture, the arts, American industrial optimism, and Chicago's image.
