Matthaeus Greuter Art

German, 1566-1638

Matthaeus Greuter was also known as Matteo Greuter. In 1606, he went to Rome, where he produced works for Cardinal Scipione Borghese, Pope Paul V, for the Accademia dei Lincei and Pope Urban VIII. He realized the copperplate etchings of sunspots for Galileo's Letters on Sunspots and the illustrations for Christoph Scheiner's Rosa Ursina. Greuter was best known for his plans and maps. His first globe map was created in 1632 and was dedicated to Jacobo Boncompagno. It was based on an earlier globe by Willem Blaeu. He made a "celestial globe" depicting the constellations in 1635, also based on Blaeu, who had used the data of Tycho Brahe.
