Jan Weenix, born in 1642 in Amsterdam and died in 1719 in Amsterdam, was a Dutch painter known for his still lifes and hunting scenes, often depicting dead game and animals in lavish settings. His works, such as 'Still Life with Dead Game' and 'A Hunting Still Life,' are celebrated for their detailed realism and rich compositions, capturing the opulence and diversity of the natural world.
