Philippe Galle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philippe Galle (Haarlem 1537–Antwerp 1612) was best known as a designer and engraver, known for his copperplate engravings reproducing paintings. He was born at Haarlem in the Netherlands, and worked at Antwerp with Hieronymus Cock from 1557. He managed Cock's press and succeeded Cock in 1570 and was received as a citizen of Antwerp the following year.

He had many pupils in his expansive press and publishing house; his heirs in the Galle family carried on the business at Antwerp through the seventeenth century.
