This book is the first complete study of the life and work of the
17th-century Dutch painter Simon Kick (1603-1652). Kick was active
in Amsterdam, the largest and busiest city of the Netherlands,
alongside Rembrandt.Simon Kick began painting only at the age of
32, driven to do so only due to the tragic death of his
brother-in-law and since the economic situation necessitated it.
Nevertheless, he was an excellent painter who focused on painting
portraits, histories, and, above all, genre topics. He was one of
only ten 17th-century Dutch painters to practice the unique genre
formula of the guardroom scene. His guardroom scenes stand out as
being more gentrified than others due to the fact that he
assimilated in them the elegance of contemporary civic-guard
portraits. His figures are particularly striking since they are
well-characterized, often depicted in a contemplative mood, and
imbued with a strong psychological presence. The fact that he
started his career late and passed away at an early age robbed us
of a great painter.The book includes a biography of the painter, as
well as a systematic and comparative iconographical and stylistic
study of his work, with an attached critical oeuvre catalogue. As
such, it provides an important tool for both art enthusiasts and
collectors, as well as art professionals such as students,
scholars, auctioneers, and art dealers.
