There is some confusion about the date of death. I changed it from 1660? (which was unsourced) to 6 October 1663, based on the presumably authoritative contemporary Britannica article; EB1911 however did have 1660. This edit reverted it to the previous inconsistent c. 1660 (main body) and 1659 (infobox), based on the death of his widow, buried 6 October 1662 (the municipal burial record does unambiguously say "Weduwe van Jan Batista Weenicx"). The coincidence with the Britannica date is striking. The Dutch Wikipedia, meanwhile, has Spring 1663; Worldcat and LOC have 1659; VIAF has different dates without explanation; Christie's goes for 1659/1661. But I think the safe bet is the Netherlands Biography Portal "vóór (before) 19 november 1663."
