Vita S. Virginis Teresiæ a Iesv : ordinis carmelitarvm excalceatorvm piae restavratricis
A 1630 Antwerp devotional book published by Jan Galle, the Life of Saint Teresa of Avila, with engravings after designs by Adriaen Collaert and Cornelis Galle, dedicated to Archduke Albrecht VII. Its pages are framed copperplate prints, each with a Latin caption below. The pictures show Teresa in visionary scenes with angels, clouds and cherubs, and in devotional interiors; a designer could draw on their dense hatching, swirling drapery and framed narrative sequence for a religious or baroque-style layout.
