Jan Weenix, born in 1644, died in 1719. He was a painter of 'still life,' and was especially famous for his dead hares, 'which in form and colour, down to the rendering of every hair, are marvels of execution.' He painted sometimes, though rarely, a living dog in his pieces. A fine example of his work, 'Dead Game with a Dog,' is in the National Gallery. Weenix sometimes painted flower pieces. 58
