Summary

Cornelis de Vos was a Flemish painter, master of drawings and art dealer. He has been one of the leading portraits in Antwerp and is best known for his brilliant technique in pictures, especially portraits of children and families. De Vos has been successful in other genres, including historical painting, religious themes, and genre painting. He was a regular contributor to Rubens.
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.

    A touching, funny, heart-wrenching, and triumphant memoir from one of the biggest names in radio, the host of The Bobby Bones Show, one of the most listened-to drive time morning radio shows in the nation. 
Growing up poor in Mountain Pine, Arkansas, with a young, addicted mom, Bobby Estell fell in love with country music. Abandoned by his father at the age of five, Bobby saw the radio as his way out—a dream that came true in college when he went on air at the Henderson State University campus station broadcasting as Bobby Bones, while simultaneously starting The Bobby Bones Show at 105.9 KLAZ. Bobby’s passions were pop, country music, and comedy, and he blended the three to become a tastemaker in the country music industry, heard by millions daily. Bobby broke the format of standard country radio, mixing country and pop with entertainment news and information, and has interviewed some of the biggest names in the business, including Luke Bryan, Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Lady Antebellum, and Jason Aldean. 
Yet despite the glamour, fame, and money, Bobby has never forgotten his roots, the mom and grandmother who raised him, the work ethic he embraced which saved him and encouraged him to explore the world, and the good values that shaped him. In this funny, poignant memoir told in Bobby’s distinctive patter, he takes fans on a tour of his road to radio. Bobby doesn’t shy away from the curves he continues to navigate—including his obsessive-compulsive disorder—on his journey to find the happiness of a healthy family. 
Funny and tender, raw and honest, Bare Bones is pure Bobby Bones—surprising, entertaining, inspiring, and authentic.
