Paul de Vos (1591—1592, or 1595 in Hulst – 30 June 1678 in Antwerp) was a Flemish Baroque painter who specialized in still lifes and animal and hunting scenes.〔(Katlijne Van der Stighelen and Arnout Balis. "Vos, de (i)." ) Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online. Oxford University Press. Web. 9 Jul. 2014〕 ==Life== De Vos was born in Hulst near Antwerp, now in the Dutch province of Zeeland. Like his older brother Cornelis and younger brother Jan, he studied under the little-known painter David Remeeus (1559–1626).〔(Paul de Vos ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History〕 De Vos became a master and joined the guild of St. Luke at a late age in 1620, probably because he had initially worked in the workshop of his brother-in-law Frans Snyders, the husband of his sister Margaretha. Paul de Vos married Isabella Waerbeek, a notary’s daughter, on 15 Nov 1624 and the couple had 10 children.〔 Peter Paul Rubens was the godfather of one of their sons named Peter Paul born in 1628. The de Vos family prospered and were able to make important investments in real estate in Antwerp.〔Peter C. Sutton, Northern European Paintings in the Philadelphia Museum of Art: From the Sixteenth and the Nineteenth Century, Philadelphia Museum Of Art, 1 January 2000, p. 346-349〕 De Vos enjoyed the patronage of influential aristocrats in Spain such as the marquis the Leganes, head of the Council of Flanders in Madrid and Philippe-Charles, 3rd Count of Arenberg, then residing in Madrid.〔 From the latter he obtained a commission to paint at least 36 paintings of birds, hunts and fables between 1633 and 1640.〔(Paul de Vos (Hulst 1591/5-1678 Antwerp), ''Three dogs playing, with songbirds on the floor'' ) at Christie's〕 In 1637-1638 he worked on the decorations for the Spanish royal residences, Buen Retiro and Torre de la Parada. Most of the decorations at the Torre de la Parada involving animal scenes without humans were by his hand. The governor of the Governor of the Spanish Netherlands Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand visited his workshop.〔 He had two pupils: Alex Daempt in 1627 and Lancelot van Daelen in 1636.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul de Vos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
