Philips
Galle (1537–1612)
Galle was a leading Dutch
engraver and print publisher, active in Haarlem and Antwerp. He was
born in Haarlem and was possibly a pupil of Dirk Volkertsz. Coornhert.
He removed to Antwerp and was employed in the workshop of Hieronymus
Cock. After 1557, Galle established his own printing and publishing
business, which was a great success, and he travelled extensively around
Europe. He was one of the most prolific publishers in Europe after 1570,
particularly of reproductive engraving of paintings. Galle died at Antwerp.
