Hendrik de Meijer

Meijer was born in Amsterdam in 1744, though Abraham Jacob van der Aa gave his date of birth as 1737.

[1] He moved to Haarlem and started a wallpaper factory there in 1764-1769.

[1] His pupils were Cornelis Apostool, Jos van den Berg, Egbert van Drielst, Geerlig Grijpmoed, Dirk Jan van der Laan, Leendert Overbeek, and Barend Hendrik Thier.

[1] In 1775 he travelled to London with fellow academy director Wybrand Hendriks.

He is not to be confused with the earlier landscape painter Hendrick de Meijer of Rotterdam.
