Pieter van den Keere

Pieter van den Keere (Latin: Petrus Kaerius 1571 – c. 1646) was a Flemish engraver, publisher and globe maker who worked for the most part of his career in England and the Dutch Republic.

He was born in Ghent, son of engraver Hendrik van den Keere, and around 1583–1584 moved with his family for religious reasons to London.

[3] In London, van den Keere received training as an engraver from Jodocus Hondius, his brother-in-law.

From 1603, Keere began creating large urban panoramas, including Utrecht, Cologne, Amsterdam, and Paris.

They were based on Christopher Saxton, Ortelius, and Giovanni Battista Boazio, respectively for England and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
