Simon de Vos (20 October 1603, Antwerp – 15 October 1676, Antwerp) was a Flemish painter, draughtsman and art collector. He started his career making cabinet pictures of genre scenes, in particular of Caravaggesque merry companies. Later he switched to history painting working on larger formats in a Flemish Baroque style which was influenced by Rubens and van Dyck. ==Life== De Vos studied from 1615 until 1620 under Cornelis de Vos (1603–76), to whom he was not related.〔Christine van Mulders, "Vos, Simon de," ''Grove Art Online'', Oxford University Press, (11 July 2014 ).〕 In 1620 he became a master in Antwerp's Guild of Saint Luke. There is uncertainty about de Vos' movements after he became a master. It is possible that he stayed in Antwerp where he may have worked in the workshop of Peter Paul Rubens. Alternatively, he may have travelled abroad. A stay in Rome is suggested by his early works, which show a similarity with the "low-life" genre paintings of the group of Dutch and Flemish painters active in Rome known as the ''Bamboccianti''.〔 An influence by the German painter Johann Liss active in Rome in the 1620s has been discerned in de Vos' paintings and may also be explained by a residence in Rome.〔Hans Vlieghe, ''(Flemish Art and Architecture 1585-1700 )'', New Haven: Yale University Press (1998): 152. ISBN 0-300-07038-1〕 In addition, on the basis of the attribution to Simon de Vos of a 1626 composition referred to as ''Gathering of Smokers and Drinkers'' (Louvre Museum, Paris) it is believed that de Vos resided in Aix-en-Provence in France in the mid 1620s.〔(''Gathering of Smokers and Drinkers'' ) at the Louvre〕 De Vos must have returned to his hometown in 1626 as in that year he married a sister of the Antwerp still life painter Adriaen van Utrecht. He worked in Antwerp for most of his life. He is known to have supplied art works for the Antwerp art dealers Forchondt and Chrysostoom van Immerseel. He enjoyed the respect of his peers as is shown by the fact that Rubens owned one of his pictures at the time of his death.〔〔(Simon de Vos ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 His pupils included Gregori de Greeff, the other Jan van Kessel (ca. 1620-in of na 1661), Jan van Kessel the Elder and Caspar van Opstal.〔 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「Simon de Vos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
