Thomas Wijck (also Thomas Wijk, or Thomas Wyck; 1616–1677) was a Dutch painter of port views and genre paintings. ==Biography== Wijck was born into an artist family and received his training from his father. He journeyed to Italy, presumably by 1640, the year in which a ‘Tommaso fiammingo, pittore’ (Thomas the Fleming, painter) is documented as residing in Rome in the Via della Fontanella. Although this evidence of his residence in Rome around this time has been questioned,〔 a number of his pictures depict scenes in and around Rome which would indicate a visit to the city at some point.〔( 'Thomas Wijck' ) at Sphinx Fine Art〕 He also resided in the environs of Naples, where he executed many sketches which he subsequently worked up into drawings of coast views.〔M. Bryan. Dictionary of Painters and Engravers, biographical and critical. v. II. London, George Bell and Sons, 1889.〕 In 1642 Wijck returned to the northern Netherlands, where he became a member of the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke.〔(Thomas Wijck ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History〕 In 1660 he was appointed Dean of the Haarlem Guild. He went to England about the time of the Restoration and was much employed. He was followed there by his son and pupil Jan Wyck, who remained in Britain for the rest of his career and played an important role in the development of English sporting painting. Thomas Wyck was also the teacher of the Haarlem painter Jan van der Vaardt, who later also immigrated to England. He died in Haarlem in August 1677. Pieter Mulier II was a follower of his style. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Wijck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
