Philip Galle is especially known for engravings made after other artists' paintings. He was born in Haarlem and studied with the humanist engraver Coornhert. In 1563 he set up his own press there while also working for the Antwerp publisher Hieronymus Cock. He moved to Antwerp, probably to escape the Siege of Haarlem, and succeeded Cock in 1570. His sons and sons-in-law kept the business going after he died in Antwerp in 1612. Browse 530 works by Philips Galle from 9 museums, free to download in HD. Source: Wikipedia
