Zick (ii).

German family of painters. They worked for over five generations in the 18th and 19th centuries in Upper Bavaria, Swabia, Franconia and the Rhineland. (1) Johann Zick and his son (2) Januarius Zick were primarily fresco painters, though the latter also did many panel paintings. Their direct descendants, Konrad Zick (b Ehrenbreitstein, 1773; d Koblenz, 1836), Gustav Zick (b Koblenz, 1809; d Koblenz, 1886) and Alexander Zick (b Koblenz, 1845; d Berlin, 1907), while relatively minor figures, all shared a gift for portrait painting.
