Jan Wyck Biography

(b Haarlem, 29 Oct 1652; d Mortlake, nr London, 17 May 1700). Son of (1) Thomas Wijck. A marriage certificate issued on 22 November 1676 describes the artist as ‘Jan Wick of St Paul’s Covent Garden, gent., widower, about 31 ...’, suggesting that he was born c. 1645, but his correct birthdate is known from the inscription on a mezzotint portrait of him by John Faber II (1684–1756) after a painting by Sir Godfrey Kneller. Jan is first documented on 17 June 1674, when he appeared before the court of the Painter-Stainers’ Company in London and vowed to pay both his own and his father’s quarterly fees. The certificate of 1676 relates to his second marriage, to Ann Skinner (d 1687), who between 1678 and 1683 bore him four children, all of whom died young. After Ann’s death in 1687, he married Elizabeth Holomberg (d 1693) in 1688 and moved to Mortlake. Between 1689 and 1693 they had two sons and a daughter.
