Gerlach Flicke

1545 – 1558), Latin name Gerbarus Fleccius, anglicised in the 16th century as "Garlicke",[1] was a German portrait painter who is known for his work in London as an artist of the Tudor court.

[2] Flicke was born in the German town of Osnabrück, but is first recorded as a portrait painter in England.

Flicke was signing his works with a Latinised name and adding Germanus to emphasise his German training.

[5] Flicke's best-known painting is possibly that of Thomas Cranmer, dated 1545, which is now in the National Portrait Gallery in London.

He left his goods to a servant in Osnabrück, which suggests that was his home town.
