[Antwerp]: Cornelis Galle, [c.1650]. . An engraving on paper. Trimmed, 20.5 x 15.25 inches. Mounted on heavier paper in the remote past. Some light wear at lower margins, very good condition, a nice dark impression. Engraved by Pieter de Bailliu after the original by Peter Paul Rubens. The lower margin contains text from Ovid's Metamorphoses, lib. xii. - Nestor tells of the battle of Lapiths and Centaurs. This copy differs from the one in the collection of the National Gallery in that the imprint at the bottom is "C. Galle ex. Cum Privilegio", while theirs has the imprint "N. Lauwers ex. Cum Privilegio". Cornelis Galle was a Flemish engraver, printmaker and publisher, known to have collaborated with Rubens and the Plantin Press.
