Painting Jan Baptist Weenix returns to Dresden

After almost 80 years, a painting by Jan Baptist Weenix (1621-1660) has finally returned to the place where it belongs: the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden. In a ceremonial act on the 23rd of October, Willem Jan Hoogsteder presented the dune landscape to the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, in the presence of the Dutch ambassador Ronald van Roeden, the Minister-President of Saxony Michael Kretschmer and the Saxon Minister for Culture Barbara Klepsch. The painting had been missing since the end of World War II. Willem Jan Hoogsteder acquired the painting to donate it to the SKD.
