About Jan Weenix

  • Jan Weenix or Joannis Wenix (between 1640/1649 – 19 September 1719 (buried)) was a Dutch painter.
  • He was trained by his father, Jan Baptist Weenix, together with his cousin Melchior d'Hondecoeter.
  • Like his father, he devoted himself to a variety of subjects, but his fame is chiefly due to his paintings of dead game and of hunting scenes.
  • Many pictures in this genre formerly ascribed to the elder Weenix are now generally considered to be the works of the son.
