Barbe after Martin de Vos, originally published by Theodorus Galle. Jean-Baptiste Barbà , a Flemish engraver, was born at Antwerp in 1578. In 1595 he entered the studio of Philippe Galle, and in 1610 he was received as a master into the Guild of St. Luke. He soon afterwards went to Italy to improve himself in drawing, which may account for his being more correct in his design than many of his countrymen. On his return to Antwerp he engraved several small and middle-sized plates, in a very neat manner, and in a style very similar to that of Wiericx. He died at Antwerp in 1649.
