Vleesmarkt 1582 - 1633

"Vleesmarkt" (1582-1633) is a detailed engraving by Philips Galle, a renowned Flemish artist, showcasing a bustling marketplace scene. The engraving depicts a crowded square, likely in Antwerp, filled with vendors selling meat, animals, and other goods. The meticulous detail in the architecture, figures, and even the animals gives viewers a glimpse into daily life in the 16th century. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Galle's mastery of the engraving technique and his keen observation of urban life.
