Born in Augsburg, Germany, Seutter became one of the leading mapmakers of his time. He inherited his mapmaking business from his father-in-law, the well-known mapmaker Johann Baptist Homann.

Seutter was recognized for his skill in producing highly detailed and decorative maps and atlases. His works encompassed a wide range of geographic areas, including maps of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Seutter's maps were renowned for their accuracy, elaborate ornamentation, and vibrant artistic elements.

He often collaborated with other notable figures in the mapmaking and publishing industry, contributing to the dissemination of geographical knowledge during the 18th century. Seutter's maps were not only functional tools for navigation and reference but also exquisite pieces of art that reflected the aesthetics of the Baroque era.

One of his famous works is the "Atlas Novus," a comprehensive atlas that he continued to update and expand throughout his career. Matthäus Seutter's contributions to cartography left a lasting impact, and his maps remain sought after by collectors and historians for their historical and artistic significance.
