SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Jan Weenix was born in Amsterdam and died there in 1719. Trained by his father, Jan Baptist Weenix, he worked in the Netherlands and Germany, painting portraits and genre scenes as well as dead game. By 1708 he was working as court painter to the Elector Palatine in Düsseldorf.
In a painting of 1708 at the National Gallery, an alert hound stands among a dead hare, heron and stag. Differences between fur and feathers enliven the arrangement. A composition of 1714 in the Rijksmuseum places game and fruit beside a garden vase, with the country estate of Rijksdorp in the distance. The landscape thus locates the displayed abundance within the setting of a country residence and the leisure pursuits associated with it.
This profile brings together identity references for Jan Weenix and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
