His sister Lijsbeth married the painter Barent Micker (1615 - 1687), whose brother Jan Micker (1598/99 - 1664) was Weenix’s first teacher. He subsequently studied with the Utrecht painter Abraham Bloemaert and completed his training in the Amsterdam studio of Claes Moeyaert. In 1639, Weenix married Josina de Hondecoeter, daughter of the landscape painter Gysbert-Gillisz Hondecoeter (1604 - 1653). On October 30, 1642, he drafted his will as he was planning to travel to Italy to experiment with his art. He lived in Italy from 1643 to 1647. In Rome, Weenix joined the Netherlandish artists society, the Bentvueghels. About 1645 the artist probably entered the service of Cardinal Camillo Pamphili. Weenix was in Amsterdam by June 1647, however by 1649 he had settled in Utrecht where together with Jan Both, he was elected an officer of the local painter’s guild. In 1657, Weenix moved to Huis ter Mey, where he died in 1659. Weenix had two sons, one of whom, Jan, became a well-known still-life painter. Along with Claes Berchem and Jan Both, Weenix was a leader of the second generation of seventeenth century Dutch painters. He painted and drew history subjects, views of Mediterranean seaports, landscapes, genre scenes, still-lifes with dead game and some portraits, although these are quite rare. Weenix also had a particular interest in dogs, and they often appeared in his works. Several study sheets by the artist are preserved in the Museum Boijmans-van Beuningen, Prentenkabinet, Rotterdam. Their Study Sheet with Nine Dogs and Five Dog Heads is an especially beautiful example. After his return from Italy, he always signed his name, as in the present painting, Gio[vanni] Batt[ist]a Weenix, whereas earlier he had written it J[ohannes] Weenicx or Weenincks. The addition of Battista might have been a reference to Cardinal Giovanni Battista Pamphili, who became Pope Innocent X in 1644, from whom he received at least one commission.

Study of a dog

Located in Amsterdam, NL

Study of a dog Oil on paper laid down on panel, 17.5 x 25.5 cm Provenance Private collection, the Netherlands Note: We are grateful to Mr Fred Meijer for his attribution to Ludolf de Jongh Ludolf de Jongh was the son of a shoemaker. When his father moved to Rotterdam, the young Ludolf decided to learn art rather than shoemaking and became a pupil of Cornelis Saftleven. Later he studied under Anthony Palamedes in Delft and still later with Jan van Bijlert in Utrecht. In 1635 he travelled to France with Francis Bacon. Seven years later, in 1642, he returned to the Netherlands when he heard that his mother had fallen ill. He set up a shop in Rotterdam, and his earliest signed paintings date from that year. According to Houbraken, his travels had caused him to speak French so fluently, that his parents had to learn French in order to speak with him. De Jongh’s work shows a strong influence from the Utrecht school of Caravaggio admirers, especially Jacob Duck...
