| Philips Galle (1537–1612) | ||||||||||
| Galle was a leading Dutch engraver and print publisher, active in Haarlem and Antwerp. Born in Haarlem, he may have studied under Dirk Volkertsz. Coornhert before moving to Antwerp, where he worked in the workshop of Hieronymus Cock. In 1557, he established his own printing and publishing business, which achieved considerable success, and he travelled extensively throughout Europe. By 1570, he had become one of the most prolific publishers on the continent, particularly known for reproductive engravings of paintings. He produced several series of devotional and allegorical prints, widely distributed across Europe and collected by nobility, and frequently reproduced works of prominent Antwerp painters such as Frans Floris and Maerten de Vos, helping to introduce their work to a wider audience. Working with other artists and engravers, he also created pieces that combined drawing and engraving skills. Additionally, some of his prints were used in educational and moral publications. Galle trained several pupils who became notable engravers, shaping the next generation of Flemish printmakers. He died in Antwerp. | ||||||||||
