Philip Galle

Philip Galle

Philip or Philips Galle (Haarlem 1537 – Antwerp March 1612) was best known as a publisher of old master prints, which he also produced as designer and engraver. He is especially known for his reproductive engravings of 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. His son-in-law was the engraver Adriaen Collaert who worked mostly for the family business.
