The poetry by Jan Vos (amsterdam, 1610-1667) is known for its focus on the arts. Scholars have claimed that this was out of Vos's personal interest and that he was on friendly terms with many painters. This article argues that Vos's poetic concern with the arts is rather a consequence of his relationship of patronage with the Amsterdam city regents. This appears from an anlysis of Vos's epigrams about portratis and other paintings; an anlysis of the long epic poem "Strydt tusschen de Doodt en Natuur, of Zeege der Schilderkunst (1654); and of the poems in which Vos addresses individual painters.
