Cornelis de Vos (um/c 1584 - 1651)

Vos came to Antwerp in 1596. He trained with David Remeeus, who salaried him as a master in 1604. After a study trip, he joined the Guild of St Luke as a “free master” in 1608, and was its dean in 1619/20. In 1611 he married the sister of Frans Snyders, with whom he often collaborated. From 1615 he trained apprentices. On his registration as a citizen of Antwerp in 1616, he listed his occupation as art dealer. In 1617 he worked with Rubens, Anton van Dyck and Jacob Jordaens, and in 1635 and 1636 again with Rubens. His oeuvre includes portraits, history and genre paintings, and a single surviving landscape, which he donated to his native town of Hulst.
