Jan Battist Weenix lernte bei Jan Micker in Amsterdam. Von 1642 bis 1646 lebte er in Rom, wo er sich auf die Landschaftsmalerei „all'italiana“ spezialisierte, wobei vor allem seine meisterhafte Art der Farbgebung hervorstach, seine Fähigkeit Szenen in ein warmes, glänzendes Licht zu tauchen und somit Effekte zu erzielen, derentwegen die Werke vieler damaliger Kollegen wie Berchem, Both oder Asselyn so geschätzt waren. Weenix malte auch beachtenswerte Jagdstillleben, Hafenbilder und Schlachtengemälde, wie das hier vorliegende Werk zeigt, das um die 60er Jahre des 17. Jahrhunderts entstanden sein dürfte. Zu der Zeit hatte sich Weenix in Utrecht niedergelassen. Das Schlachtgeschehen, wobei sich türkische und christlicher Reiter gegenüberstehen, findet auf der linken Bildseite statt und entwickelt sich dann perspektivisch der Fluchtlinie entlang diagonal nach rechts und verläuft sich in einer unwirtlichen, von einem Wasserlauf durchzogenen Landschaft.

Jan Baptist Weenix,
1621 Amsterdam – circa 1665
BATTLE PIECE (BATTAGLIA)
Oil on canvas.
95 x 136 cm.
Signed “G.B. WEENIX” on the lower left picture margin.
In Rome, the artist specialised in creating landscape paintings “all’italiana”. Above all he stood out because of his virtuous manner of colouration, his ability to achieve visual effects by “bathing” the scenes in a warm, shining light. Weenix painted remarkable hunting still lives, harbour scenes and battle pieces as demonstrated in the present work, which was probably executed in the 1660s.
