Mathieu Hubertus Josephus Schoenmaekers (13 December 1875, Maastricht - 18 December 1944, Laren) was a former Catholic priest, philosopher and theosophist who developed an esoteric philosophy called Christosophy.
He published two influential books in Holland, Het Nieuwe Wereldbeeld (The New Worldview)[1] in 1915 and Beginselen der beeldende wiskunde (Principles of 'Plastic' Mathematics)[2] in 1916, which influenced Piet Mondrian and the art movement of Neoplasticism and the De Stijl group".[3][4]
