The Card players., Thomas Wyck, artist, 1631-1677, etching, Thomas Wijck (also Thomas Wijk, or Thomas Wyck, 1616–1677) was a Dutch painter of port views and genre paintings who also made a small number of etchings. Wijck was born into an artist family and received his training from his father. He journeyed to Italy, presumably by 1640, the year in which a ‘Tommaso fiammingo, pittore’ (Thomas the Fleming, painter) is documented as residing in Rome in the Via della Fontanella. Although this evidence of his residence in Rome around this time has been questioned, a number of his pictures depict scenes in and around Rome which would indicate a visit to the city at some point. He also resided in the environs of Naples, where he executed many sketches which he subsequently worked up into drawings of coast views.
