Description
Svenska: Willem Blaeu (1571-1638) var en av den världsberömde astronomen Tycho Brahes elever. Kring år 1600 startade Blaeu tillverkning av kartor och glober i Amsterdam. Tack vare sina vetenskapliga kunskaper och genom inköp av andra kartografers arbeten kunde Blaeu bli en av de mest tongivande karttillverkarna i Europa. I enlighet med tidens tänkesätt utförde verkstaden glober i par: en himmels- och en jordglob. De flesta vetenskapsmän var övertygade om att de himmelska rörelserna motsvarades av likartade skeenden på jorden. Globerna kunde även tjänstgöra som hjälpmedel för geografiska beräkningar och därmed också ha en funktion i praktiska sammanhang. För många välbeställda män i Europa har glober även varit en symbol för vetenskapligt intresse, ekonomiskt välstånd och god smak.
English: Willem Blaeu (1571-1638) was a pupil of the world-famous astronomer Tycho Brahe. Around 1600, Blaeu started production of maps and globes in Amsterdam. Thanks to his scientific knowledge and through the purchase of other cartographers' work, Blaeu became one of the most authoritative producers of maps in Europe. In accordance with the thinking of the time, the workshop made globes in pairs: one to represent the heavens and another the Earth. Most scientists were convinced that the heavenly movements were matched by similar events on Earth. The globes could also serve as a tool for geographic calculations and thus play a role in practical contexts. For many wealthy men in Europe, globes were also a symbol of scientific interest, financial prosperity and good taste.
