Jan Wyck
Dutch, 1640–1700
Jan Wyck was a Dutch Dutch Golden Age artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Ireland. Jan Wyck was born in Haarlem.
Jan Wyck (29 October 1645 – 17 May 1702), also known as Jan Wiyck or Jan Wick, was a Dutch Baroque painter, best known for his works on military subjects. There are over 150 of his works known to be in existence. In an era when French artists dominated the genre, the arrival of Wyck and other Dutch and Flemish artists in Great Britain from 1660 onwards provided the catalyst for the development of military and naval art in Britain.
Like other painters from the Low Countries such as Dirk Maas, Peter Tillemans and William van de Velde, Wyck moved to England and worked there throughout his life, often under royal patronage, producing many fine works of battle paintings, portraits, hunting scenes and landscapes as well as advancing the development of British art through teaching.
