Born in Lachen, Switzerland on January 10, 1702, Johannes Zick was a German painter during the Baroque period known for his frescoes and religious themed paintings.
He started his career as a blacksmith. It's said his work was discovered by a traveling painter. From 1721 to 1724, he was apprenticed to Jacob Carl Stauder. During his time as an apprentice, they painted the frescoes of the Church of Mariahilf in Munich.
In 1728, he moved his family to Munich where he was appointed court painter to Prince Bishop Duke Johann Theodor of Bavaria.
Later in his years, he became somewhat an interior decorator painting frescoes on the ceiling of St. Martin's Church in Biberach an der Riß, a town in southern Germany, at the Würzburg Residence, a palace southeast of Frankfurt, and furnishing the residence of Prince Bishops of Speyer in Bruchsal.
