Blaeu, Joan
Joan Blaeu (also Johannes Blaeu; 23 September 1596 - 21 December 1673) was a Dutch cartographer born in Alkmaar, the son of cartographer Willem Janszoon Blaeu.
In 1620, he became a doctor of law but he joined the work of his father. In 1635, they published the Atlas Novus (full title: Theatrum orbis terrarum, sive, Atlas novus) in two volumes. Joan and his brother Cornelius took over the studio after their father died in 1638. Blaeu became the official cartographer of the Dutch East India Company.
Around 1649, Blaeu published a collection of Dutch city maps named Toonneel der Steeden (Views of Cities). In 1651, he was voted into the Amsterdam council. In 1654, Blaeu published the first atlas of Scotland, devised by Timothy Pont. In 1662, he reissued the Atlas Novus, also known as Atlas Maior, in 11 volumes, and one for oceans.[citation needed] A cosmology was planned as their next project, but a fire destroyed the studio completely in 1672.
Blaeu died in Amsterdam on 21 December 1673. He is buried in the Westerkerk there.
