A Delft Painter of Soldiers and Family: The Life and Art of Simon Kick Simon Kick, a name perhaps less immediately recognizable than some of his Dutch Golden Age contemporaries, nevertheless occupies an important niche in the artistic landscape of 17th-century Netherlands. Born in Delft in 1603 and passing away in Amsterdam in 1652, Kick dedicated his career to capturing the world around him – primarily through insightful portraits and lively genre scenes populated with soldiers and horsemen. His was a relatively brief but productive artistic life, one deeply interwoven with familial connect…
A chart of Simon Kick's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.
Each arm of the atlas gathers works by what they depict: portraits, sacred scenes, mythologies, and the scientific studies. Click a spoke to swing that cluster to the top.
Distance from the center marks time. The innermost ring is the earliest period; the outermost, the final years. Style matures as you move outward.
Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
