Goeree, Jan (sold)
Jan Goeree (1670 - 1731) was a Dutch painter, draughtsman and printmaker. He was also known as a poet. He was the son of one Willem Goeree and no details come down to us of his youth in Middleburg. In Amsterdam he was a pupil of Dutch Golden Age painter and art theorist Gerard de Lairesse. He lived out his life in Amsterdam, the city in which most of his work was produced. His engraving appeared in De Fer's Atlas Royal. Tooley's Dictionary is probably mistaken in saying he worked for Pieter van der Aa. Although his imprint is to be found on van der Aa's large format maps, these were executed on behalf of François Halma as early as 1694, and the plates later acquired and reprinted by van der Aa in 1713.

This is Thomas Burnet's curious c. 1694 map of the Earth's hemispheres, from the Dutch book Voor-Bereidselen Tot de Bybelsche Wysheid…. Meant to demonstrate Burnet's idiosyncratic cosmogony, it is notable for its mapping of California as an island and an interconnected Arctic-North American landmass, among other features.

This is Thomas Burnet's curious c. 1694 depiction of the Earth's hemispheres, from the Dutch book Voor-Bereidselen Tot de Bybelsche Wysheid…. Meant to demonstrate Burnet's idiosyncratic cosmogony, this sheet reveals the state of natural philosophy at the time, just as the mapping of California as an island and other oddities reflect the ongoing development of geographical knowledge.
