Works by Jan Baptist Weenix (1621-1659), in the public domain, each linked to the record of the institution that holds it. Born in Amsterdam and a pupil of Bloemaert in Utrecht, he lived in Rome from 1642 to 1647, where he painted for Cardinal Pamphili, the future Innocent X; he brought back the landscapes of ancient ruins, the busy Mediterranean harbours and the scenes of Italian country life that made him one of the masters of Italianate painting, before turning, towards the end of his life, to large hunting still lifes. He also painted a few portraits, among them that of René Descartes. Only works that the institutions give to him without reservation, and of which a freely reusable photograph exists, are included; the origin of each photograph is given on the page of the work. The titles are those of the institutions, with their translation.
