| Notes | The Encomium Musices (Eulogy of Music) is an extraordinary set of engravings published by Philip Galle in Antwerp c. 1590, consisting of a set of 18 plates showing scenes from the Holy Scriptures, all with musical subjects. Galle was the publisher and chief engraver. Other important artists are exemplified with plates 3, 4, 6-9, 11, 14 and 15 which are engraved by Adrian Collaert (1560-1618) who was the son-in-law of Philip Galle, after designs by Jan van der Straet (Johann Sadeler/ Stradanus, 1523-1605). Plate No. 16, is engraved by Philip Galle's eldest son Theodore Galle (1571-1633). The Encomium Musices is thought possibly to commemorate the rededication of Antwerp's churches to Roman Catholicism after the city was captured by Alexander Farnese in 1585. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
