Jan Baptist Weenix Biography

(b Amsterdam, 1621; d Huis ter Mey, nr Utrecht, ?1660–61). Painter, draughtsman and etcher. After possibly training with Micker, Weenix is said by Houbraken to have studied with Abraham Bloemaert in Utrecht and then with Claes Cornelisz. Moeyaert for about two years in Amsterdam. Weenix’s earliest known work is a signed and dated drawing of an Italianate landscape with goats and sheep, a shepherd resting near a Classical pillar and a large group of trees (1644; Vienna, Albertina). His early painting Sleeping Tobias (1642; Rotterdam, Boymans–van Beuningen) is related thematically to works by Moeyaert and Rembrandt. Weenix’s supple contours, liquid brushwork and rich colour, however, already reveal the qualities that were prized by later artists and collectors.
