Jan Wyck (also Jan Wiyck or Jan Wick) (29 October 1645 – 17 May 1702) was a Dutch baroque painter, best known for his works on military subjects. There are still over 150 of his works known to piece of legislation existence.
In an era when French artists dominated the genre, the dawn of Wyck and additional Dutch and Flemish artists in Great Britain from 1660 onwards provided the catalyst for the move on 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 below royal patronage, producing many fine works of fight paintings, portraits, hunting scenes and landscapes as competently as advancing the develop of British art through teaching.
