Jan Baptist Weenix, also spelled Jan Baptiste Weeninx (1621–1659), was a painter of the Dutch Golden Age. Despite his relatively brief career, he was a very productive and versatile painter. His favourite subjects were Italian landscapes with large figures among ruins, seaside views, and, later in life, large still life pictures of dead game or dogs.
He was mainly responsible for introducing the Italian harbor scene into Dutch art, in mid-size paintings with a group of figures in the foreground.
