ชีวประวัติ:

Georg Christoph Eimmart the Younger was a German draughtsman and engraver. He was instructed by his father, Georg Christoph Eimart the Elder, who was also an engraver, a painter of portraits, landscapes, still-life, and historical subjects. He studied at the University of Jena from 1654 to 1658. Eimmart resided at Nuremberg, where he died in 1705. He engraved some plates for Joachim von Sandrart's Academia, and some small etchings of ruins, buildings, and vases, ornamented with figures, which have considerable merit. He was also a mathematician and astronomer, and published in 1701 Iconographia nova contemplationum de Sole. He established the first astronomical observatory in Nuremberg. The lunar crater Eimmart is named after Georg Christoph Eimmart the Younger.
