Description
Veduta tratta dal “Mediceae Familiare rerum feliciter gestarum Victoriae et Triumphi. Elegantissimis iconibus a Johanne Stradano Flandro, artificiosissimo penicillo delineata & à Philippo Gallaeo in aes incisa ed edita 1583”. I lavori, tratti dai disegni dello STRADANO, tuttavia portano date differenti e secondo Hirschmann le incisioni del Goltzius (autore assieme al Galle delle opere) sono databili al 1578.
La serie è composta da tre parti: questa opera è tratta dal “D. Caroli V. Caesaris et Illustriss. Cosmae Medices... Gestae”, che raffigura le battaglie vittoriose di Carlo V e Cosimo dei Medici su Piero Strozzi, 1553/1554.
Secondo lo Strauss (che elenca le opere di Goltzius) sono nel primo stato di due o di tre. Incisione in rame, piccoli margini, leggere abrasioni, strappo di carta restaurato,nel complesso in buono stato di conservazione. Rara.

Draughtsman, engraver, publisher, print dealer, writer and historian. It is possible that he was a pupil in Haarlem of Dirk Volkertsz. Coornhert, but more than likely he was trained in the Antwerp workshop of Hieronymous Cock, who published Galle’s first prints in 1557 and for whom he worked for many years. Shortly after 1557 Philip Galle started his own publishing and print business, for which he travelled extensively: in 1560–61 he visited the southern Netherlands, France, Germany and Italy. After 1564 he settled in Antwerp, where he acquired citizenship in 1571, the same year in which he became a master in the city’s Guild of St Luke. He served as dean of the guild from 1585 to 1587. His documented pupils were H. van Doort in 1580, Karel van Mallery (1571–1635) in 1586, Jean-Baptiste Barbé (1578–1649) in 1594 and Peter Backereel (d 1637) in 1605. Others working at the workshop and publishing house included Philip’s sons Theodor and Cornelis, his son-in-law Adriaen Collaert, pupils van Mallery and Barbé, the Wierix brothers, Hendrick Goltzius, Crispijn de Passe I and other members of the Collaert family.
