Adriaen Collaert

circa 1560–1618, Antwerp

Adriaen Collaert, who was trained and worked in Philipp Galle’s studio from 1580 to 1593, emulated his teacher in becoming one of the most prolific engravers and publishers of his time. His oeuvre is now thought to encompass some six hundred prints. Collaert set up his own publishing house in 1593.
