Meyeringh [Meyering], Aelbert [Albert]
(b Amsterdam, 1645; d Amsterdam, 17 July 1714). Dutch etcher, draughtsman and painter. He trained under his father, the painter and art dealer Frederik Meyeringh (b Emden, 1608; d Amsterdam, 1669). Aelbert spent the period from 1672 to 1687 away from Amsterdam. In 1675–6 he was in Rome with his artist–friend Johannes Glauber and probably spent a year after that in Padua. He provided the designs for Glauber’s series of six etchings with views from the monastery of the Grande Chartreuse (Hollstein, nos 1–6), in which the influence of Gaspard Dughet is evident. His oeuvre includes paintings, drawings, painted wallpaper decorations and etchings of classical Italianate landscapes with mythological and arcadian subjects. The etchings (e.g. the series of 27 landscape etchings after his own designs, 1695) date from after his return to Amsterdam. Gérard de Lairesse’s two-volume Het groot schilderboek (Amsterdam, 1707) includes two small landscape etchings by Meyeringh (i, p. 335) and one after his drawing (i, p. 350).
