otto van veen
Otto van Veen was a painter, draughtsman, and humanist active primarily in Antwerp and Brussels in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He is known for running a large studio in Antwerp, producing several emblem books, and for being, from 1594 or 1595 until 1598, Peter Paul Rubens' teacher. His role as a classically educated humanist artist (a pictor doctus), reflected in the Latin name by which he is often known, Octavius Vaenius, was influential on the young Rubens, who would take on that role himself.

Marten de Vos (or Maarten de Vos, or Maerten de Vos) was a Dutch painter, draughtsman and graphic artist, dean of the Antwerp Guild.
After studying in Rome and Venice, de Vos returned to his native Antwerp in 1558 and became one of the city's leading artists. He created altarpiece images for many of Antwerp's churches. Many of his religious and historical paintings were later engraved, making him known throughout Flanders.
De Vos was also the founder of the Society of Romanists, whose members were famous artists and humanists of the time who appreciated the humanistic culture of Rome.
