About Maerten de Vos

1532–1603Southern Netherlands

Flemish painter and draftsman. Together with the brothers Ambrosius Francken I and Frans Francken I, he was among the most influential painters of altarpieces in Antwerp during the 1590s. Due in part to the Counter-Reformation, there was a renewed demand for altarpieces to replace those lost during iconoclastic riots in 1566 and reformist movement of 1581.
