Doetecum, Joannes van
Joannes van Doetecum the Elder (1530 - 1605) was a Dutch engraver and cartographer, known for his etchings after Breughel, and an array of maps engraved on his own behalf and that of an array of cartographers. He was born in Deventer, and moved to Haarlem in 1578. He was the start of a dynasty of Dutch map engravers whose work appears on the maps of Gerard De Jode, Abrahanm Ortelius, Jan van Linschoten, Plancius, Plantin, Waghanaer, Jansson, and Visscher. His engraver family included his brother Lucas (fl. 1558 - 1593,) and his sons Johannes II )(fl. 1592-1630) Peter, and Baptista. Despite their prolific work, very little is known about the Doetecum family.

This is Abraham Ortelius' 1570 map of the Duchy of Milan, in Italy. It was based the map of Giovanni Giorgio Settala (1520 - 1590) engraved by Hieronymus Cock, which exists in a sole copy in the British Library. Settala was Milanese, and although most of his life was spent building fortifications for Charles V in Spain, his map was drawn while he lived in Milan. (more details)
