(5) Joannes [Jan] Galle
(b Antwerp, bapt 27 Sept 1600; d Antwerp, 20 Dec 1676). Engraver, publisher and print dealer, son of (2) Theodor Galle. He became a master in the Antwerp Guild of St Luke in 1627–8 and its dean in 1638–9. Although various engravings have been attributed to him, he was probably only their publisher. However, engravings after Rubens’s Crucifixion (Hollstein, no. 2) and All Saint’s Day (Hollstein, no. 5) are definitely by him.
