Adriaen Collaert made prints in Antwerp, where he was born and where he died in 1618. He worked for Philip Galle and married his daughter, Justa Galle. He also made prints after Maerten de Vos for Gerard de Jode, and from 1589 he worked for Plantijn Moretus. His own designs include thirty plates of birds and one hundred and twenty-five plates of fishes. Bryan's dictionary describes his plates as neatly finished but with a certain degree of dryness.
