The latest issue of Print Quarterly (Vol. XXXVI, no. 2) includes an article on Philips Galle’s print series Encomium Musices, of circa 1589, which explores the political overtones of the series in the context of late sixteenth-century Antwerp. Working in the years after Cardinal Farnese’s conquest of the city and the consequent conversion of the local population to Catholicism, Galle made an astute use of words and images in his prints in order to appeal to a Catholic audience and implicitly suggest his political views.

The issue also contains a review of Mark McDonald’s recently published volume on Cassiano dal Pozzo’s print collection, which included works by Dutch artists such as Aegidius Sadeler. There is also a Note on the Weil Collection, which includes mostly Italian, German and Dutch prints.
