Konrad Zick

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konrad Zick , also Conrad Zick (born June 15, 1773 in Ehrenbreitstein , † May 27, 1836 in Koblenz ), was a German portrait and landscape painter and drawing teacher.

Life

Zick was born into a well-known family of painters as one of fourteen children of the landlord's daughter Anna Maria Gruber (1745-1811) and the Electorate court painter Januarius Zick , son of Johannes Zick . There he received an artistic training. From 1798 he gave private drawing lessons himself. From 1804 he also taught at the école secondaire , since 1828 at the Royal High School in Koblenz . His son Peter Gustav Zick , later also a painter and father of the painter Alexander Zick , was born in 1809. Konrad Zick emerged primarily as a landscape painter, but also as a portraitist. As a teacher, he is also of importance in art history, because Georg Saal , Simon Meister and Jakob Lehnen are his students.
