Collection
Philippe Galle, Septem opera misericordiae spiritalia
This collection contains a series of copper engravings by Philippe Galle, depicting the seven spiritual acts of mercy (to instruct the ignorant, to counsel the doubtful, to admonish sinners, to bear patiently those who wrong us, to forgive offenses, to comfort the afflicted, and to pray for the living and the dead). The title sheet has 7 rondelles, each featuring an act of mercy with label and scriptural reference below. Each subsequent plate then illustrates a separate act with several graphic examples and their corresponding Scripture passages. Citations: New Hollstein Dutch & Flemish Etchings, Engravings and Woodcuts 1450 - 1700 Galle II, 249-256.
