Cornelis Galle II

Cornelis Galle II followed his father into the reproductive engraving trade that carried Flemish printmaking through the seventeenth century, translating painted and drawn models into finely cut burin lines. His plates range from mythological scenes such as Venus nursing three Cupids in a landscape to commemorative portraiture, including a bust of Philip Rubens set within a niche. The archive holds two engravings by him, one of them recorded by Hollstein as the second state of two, with sheet dates given as 1627 and later impressions up to that year.
