In 1545, it is a free master in the Antwerp painters' guild. He then begins a journey across Europe: in France, then in Italy, where he lived first in Venice, before settling in Florence. He worked for Cosimo I de 'Medici and working with Giorgio Vasari for the decoration of the Studiolo of Francesco I de' Medici, and that of Clement VII hall of the Palazzo Vecchio. In 1565, he was part of teams of painters and sculptors responsible, under the direction of Giorgio Vasari, to realize the gigantic stage for the entry in Florence Joan of Austria, on the occasion of her marriage to Francis Medici. Greatly influenced by the mannerist, including Michelangelo, Johannes Stradanus contributes to the development of the great history painting to the Italian. He painted several altarpieces for Florentine churches. He also traveled to Rome from 1550 to 1553 and in Naples in 1576 after a trip to Antwerp in 1578, he devoted much of his time to the gravure.Philippe Galle, born in Haarlem in 1537 and died in Antwerp in March 1612 , is a Flemish engraver, a member of a famous family of engravers. He practiced copper engraving, drawing, trade gavures, editing and writing. He trained with Hieronymus Cock in Antwerp, where he engraved drawings of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, including the series of the Seven Deadly Sins. He then became a writer Maarten van Heemskerck. From 1557, he has his own studio, which will be attended by his son, Theodore and Cornelius, as well as his step-son, Adriaen Collaert the Wierix brothers, Hendrick Goltzius, Crispin de Passe the Elder and other Collaert family members. His studio is central to the production of prints Antwerp. Philippe Galle achieved some of its most admirable works on projects of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (The Alchemist, 1558), by Jan van der Straet, Franz Floris (The Daughters of Lot) and Gillis Congnet ( Aenevm Saecvlvm and the four ages of mankind, 1575). --- Please note that the translation in english is done automatically, we apologize if the formulas are inaccurate.
