| Cornelis de Vos (I) (1584–1651) | ||||||||||
| e Vos, a painter of the Flemish school, was born in Hulst and became a master in the Guild of St Luke at Antwerp in 1608. He had been mentioned in 1599 in the Liggeren as a pupil of David Remeeus and served as dean of the Guild in 1619–20. He was the leading Flemish portraitist before Van Dyck. De Vos trained several pupils, notably Jean Cossiers, Willem Everdijck, and Simon de Vos, with whom he is often confused. He painted both historical scenes and portraits, the latter somewhat in the style of Rubens. De Vos also worked with Jordaens on decorations commissioned by Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, designed by Rubens. His fame primarily rests on his exceptional portraits, particularly those of children and family groups. He was a friend of Van Dyck, who painted his portrait. De Vos was also an art dealer active in Antwerp and Paris. He died in Antwerp. | ||||||||||
