Cornelis was the son of the first Dutch marine painter, Hendrick Vroom.
He was a pupil and later assistant of his father. Following a family quarrel in the early 1630s Cornelis stopped painting maritime subjects and turned to landscape painting. Therefore his marine paintings are very rare.

The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London, holds a painting by Cornelis ‘s father, Hendrick, signed and dated 1626, that represents a comparable composition.
