==Work==
[[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]] was impressed by the treatment of animals in Weenix pictures which he saw in Munich. He devoted a poem to the master's technique in which he stated that Weenix equaled and even surpassed nature in his treatment of animal textures as hair, feathers and claws.<ref>http://www.bijlvanurk.com/C/Gallery</ref>
Many of his best works are to be found in English private collections. Though the [[National Gallery, London]] has only a single example, a painting of dead game and a dog, the [[Wallace Collection]], also in London, has thirteen paintings, including the intriguing (and arguably disturbing) "Flowers on a Fountain with a Peacock." Jan Weenix is well represented in the galleries of [[Amsterdam]], [[The Hague]], [[Haarlem]], [[Rotterdam]], [[Berlin]], [[Lisbon]] and [[Paris]]. A medium sized Weenix, "Still Life with Dead Game" hangs in the dining room of the [[Filoli]] estate in California. A certain "Still Life with Hunting Trophies" hangs in the [[Ackland Art Museum]], Chapel Hill, NC, and a large "Peacock with Hunting Trophies" hangs in the [[Museu Calouste Gulbenkian]]. "Boy with Toys, Pet Monkey and a Turkey" is in the [[Kresge Art Museum]].<ref>Anke A. Van Wagenberg-Ter Hoeven, "Jan Weenix.
