1574
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Title Page is a 1574 ink by Philip Galle, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows two busy scenes packed with people. The top half has a group sitting on steps, holding books and tools. The bottom half shows musicians playing instruments. All the figures look like they’re from ancient times, with flowing robes and serious faces. The text at the top names two artists who made the drawings: Martino Heemskerck and Johannes Stradanus. This print was later turned into an engraving by Philip Galle. Look up engraving to see how artists like this carved detailed images into metal.
Philip (or Philips) Galle (1537 – March 1612) was a Dutch publisher, best known for publishing old master prints, which he also produced as designer and engraver. He is especially known for his reproductive engravings of paintings.
