"Cornelis Galle the Elder, a younger son of Philips Galle, was born at Antwerp in 1576, and was taught engraving by his father. He followed the example of his brother Theodoor in visiting Rome, where he resided several years, and acquired a correctness of design, and a freedom of execution, in which he greatly surpassed both his father and his brother. After engraving several plates at Rome, from the Italian masters, he returned to Antwerp, where he carried on the business of a printseller and engraved many plates after the works of his countrymen and his own designs. He died in 1656."
