Jean Rotz
Jean Rotz was a French artist-cartographer of the 16th century. He was born of a Scottich father.
Jean Rotz was a member of the school of the Dieppe maps. He may have accompanied Jean Parmentier to Sumatra in 1529, and certainly went to Brazil in 1539.[1] His work was greatly influenced by these first French travels, inducing him to create highly decoarative maps.[2][3][4]
Failing to find employment with Francis I, Jean Rotz went to England in 1542 and entered the service of Henry VIII.[5]
