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) in 1915 and Beginselen der beeldende wiskunde (Principles of Visual Mathematics) in 1916, which influenced Piet Mondrian and the art movements of Neoplasticism and De Stijl".[1][2]
