His works spanned various themes and genres, showcasing his ability to bring life to diverse subjects. In "The Animals Going into the Ark from The Story of the Family of Seth, " created in 1586 by Johann Sadeler I after de Vos's original painting, we witness an awe-inspiring depiction of Noah's ark. De Vos's attention to detail and skillful rendering transport us back to biblical times. Another remarkable piece attributed to de Vos is "Ammon" from the series Solitudo Sive Vitae Patrum Eremicolarum. Painted around 1585-86, this work showcases his mastery in capturing human emotions through portraiture. De Vos also explored different senses through art. In "Sight (Visus), " an artwork inspired by Maerten de Vos's original creation, he delves into visual perception and invites viewers on a journey through sight itself. Collaborating with Johann Sadeler I for "Epiphanius" in Sylvae Sacrae Monumenta. . Anachoretarum (1593-94), Martin de Vos demonstrates his ability to create powerful religious imagery that resonates deeply with its audience. Beyond religious subjects, de Vos also ventured into allegorical representations. Works like "Concordia, " "Pax, " and "Constantia" exemplify his talent for conveying abstract concepts visually. These pieces offer profound insights into harmony, peace, and steadfastness respectively. Furthermore, Julius Goltzius brought forth two continents - Europa and Asia - based on designs by Martin de Vos in their collaborative project titled The Four Continents. Through these artworks, they explore cultural diversity while celebrating each continent's unique characteristics.
