The Encomium Musices (Eulogy of Music) is an important set of highly detailed late 16th century engravings published in Antwerp ca. 1590 by Philip Galle (1537-1612), best-known as a publisher of Old Master prints; the engraver of this particular plate, Collaert, was Galle's son-in-law. The suite of engravings is thought by some to commemorate the rededication of Antwerp's churches to Roman Catholicism following the capture of the city by Alexander Farnese in 1585.
