Alexander Zick
Alexander Zick (born 20 December 1845, Koblenz, Germany – 10 November 1907, Berlin, Germany) was a German painter and illustrator.[1]
The Zick family included multiple generations of painters. Alexander was the son of Gustav Zick, a painter. He was also the great-grandson of the painter and architect Januarius Zick, and the great-great-grandson of fresco artist Johannes Zick.[2][3]
He was a student of August Wittig[citation needed] at Düsseldorf Academy, first studying sculpture, and then studied painting under the director of the academy, Eduard Bendemann. In 1880, he moved to Berlin, where he studied under Ludwig Knaus. There, Zick worked as a genre and history painter.[1]
Zick later worked mainly as an illustrator. He illustrated classic literature and fairy tales, as well as drew for family and youth magazines.[1]
