Cornelis de Vos studied with David Remeens in Antwerp and became free master of the guild in 1608 . He trained the style of the older master school for greater strength and fullness of life. De Vos had painted religious and mythological pictures as well as portraits , the latter of which show his painting skills at the highest level.

The most outstanding of his portraits are:

  • The servant of the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke (in the Museum of Antwerp),
  • The master and his family (in the Brussels Museum),
  • The Hutten family ( Alte Pinakothek Munich) and
  • Child portrait ( Städelsches Kunstinstitut zu Frankfurt / M.),
