Mattheus GREUTER (Roma 1564 - 1638)

Matthaus, or Mathias or Matheus, Greuter was drawer and engraver for De Angelis. He was born in Strassbourg in 1564 and died in Rome in 1638 and there he has been buried, in the church of Saint Eustachio. Before coming to Rome, where he finally published his own works, he lived and worked for a while in Lion and Avignon. The majority of his plates are etchings with final touches with engraving, in “excellent style”. He remained in Rome until 1584. He realized small engravings depicting saints and some title pages of maps and the great Giudizio Universale. He worked for Giovanni Mannozzi, Antonio Pomarancio, Claudio Deronet and, together with Lucas Vosterman, he realized the marvellous ride of Charles V.
