Cornelis de Vos was born near Antwerp, now in the province of Zealand. His father moved to Antwerp in 1596. Cornelis and his younger brothers studied with little-known artist David Remeeus. It is unclear whether the young artist left the city to study abroad. He joined the St. Luke Guild at the age of 24. When he became a citizen of Antwerp, he was recorded as practicing as an art dealer.
Cornelis de Vos married Jan Wilders's half-sister Susanna Cock. The couple had six children. His sister Margareta married the famous painter Frans Snyders. These marriages strengthened the role of de Vos in Antwerp's artistic life.
He served as dean of the St. Luke Guild in Antwerp and asked the city council in Antwerp for permission to visit the Saint-Germain market in Paris as an art dealer.
De Vos has developed an active practice as an artist, especially portraits. He received numerous commissions for family portraits from local patrons. In 1627, De Vos used royal patronage when six royal paintings were commissioned by Marie de 'Medici and five european rulers respectively. He also worked on paid commissions for Chirch. In 1628 De Vos painted his only known landscape - View of Hulst, which he donated to his hometown, where he was still in the town hall.
During this period of active activity as a painter, De Vos created unique works for export, mainly in Spain. He also produced decorative designs based on Rubens. In the period 1636-1638 the Rubens' workshop received a large order for fantastic decoration for the Torre de la Parada hunting pavilion of the Spanish king Philip IV near Madrid. For this project De Vos, along with many artists from the Rubens circle, painted decorations after Rubens oil sketches.
He died in Antwerp, where he was buried in the Cathedral of Our Lady.
His early work shows Rubens' evident influence on the subject, motives, and weight of Carravagesque. His work is characterized by a warm palette and sophisticated painting of fabrics and brilliant jewelry with attention to detail. Essential features of his style are the apparent plasticity of the painted flesh and the brightness of the accents. He used liquid and transparent technique and fine brushes for the application of the details. While in his later work of the thirties he was less precise in the presentation of more details, his overall technique remained soft and gentle. He was exceptionally skillful to draw group portraits and portraits of children.
