Artist
Maerten de Vos, Maerten de Vos the Elder or Marten de Vos was a Flemish painter, known mainly for his history and allegorical paintings and portraits. He was, together with the brothers Ambrosius Francken I and Frans Francken I, one of the leading history painters in the Spanish Netherlands after Frans Floris's career slumped in the second half of the sixteenth century as a result of the Iconoclastic fury of the Beeldenstorm.
