Jan Baptist Weenix (1621-1659) was a Dutch Golden Age painter known for Italian landscapes, harbor scenes & still lifes of game/dogs. Pioneer of Italianate settings in Dutch art. Explore his versatile works!
In an Italian landscape some hunters, dressed in first costume, stop at the ruins of an antique Roman building. A young beggar sitting next to one of the pillars has a hat in his hand in the hope of receiving alms. In the foreground is a boy in a red hunting costume in bright light in front of a monumental gate. He is accompanied by three dogs. In his hands he holds a folded net. A blue hunting bag and the catch of the day - a hare, a heron and two partridges - lie at his feet.
