Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita (Amsterdam, June 6, 1868 – Auschwitz, ca. February 11, 1944) was a graphic artist active in the years before the Second World War. His pupils included the now renowned Mauritis Cornelis Escher (1898–1972). In the postwar years, de Mesquita was largely forgotten. Thanks in no small measure to the efforts of Escher, who regarded him as both a mentor and a friend, his name has survived and is currently receiving growing attention.
