Beschreibung
Cornelis de Vos was a Flemish painter, master of drawings and art dealer. He has been one of the leading portraits in Antwerp and is best known for his brilliant technique in pictures, especially portraits of children and families. De Vos has been successful in other genres, including historical painting, religious themes, and genre painting. He was a regular contributor to Rubens. Cornelis de Vos was born near Antwerp, now in the province of Zealand. His father moved to Antwerp in 1596. Cornelis and his younger brothers studied with little-known artist David Remeeus. It is unclear whether the young artist left the city to study abroad. He joined the St. Luke Guild at the age of 24. When he became a citizen of Antwerp, he was recorded as practicing as an art dealer. Cornelis de Vos married Jan Wilders's half-sister Susanna Cock. The couple had six children. His sister Margareta married the famous painter Frans Snyders. These marriages strengthened the role of de Vos in Antwerp's artistic life. He served as dean of the St. Luke Guild in Antwerp and asked the city council in Antwerp for permission to visit the Saint-Germain market in Paris as an art dealer.
