From van Keulen's landmark Zee-Atlas — the most important Dutch maritime atlas of the Golden Age. Johannes van Keulen (1654–1715) was one of the most important Dutch maritime cartographers and chart publishers of the Golden Age of Dutch cartography. Working from Amsterdam, he published the landmark De Groote Nieuwe Vermeerderde Zee-Atlas (1680 and subsequent editions to 1734) — an unprecedented maritime atlas containing up to 185 charts in its largest editions and issued in Dutch, French, English, and Spanish. Van Keulen's charts combined baroque artistry with navigational precision, and the family business he founded continued to dominate Dutch chart publishing for nearly a century. His charts of the North American coasts are among the most detailed and accurate produced in the 17th century and are today highly prized by collectors of maritime and Dutch Golden Age cartography.
