Meyer

Swiss family of artists. Dietrich Theodor Meyer I (1572-1658), a painter and engraver of hunting scenes and peasant dances, myths and allegories, was the initial teacher of his sons (1) Rudolf Meyer, Johannes Meyer I (1614-66) and (2) Conrad Meyer. While Rudolf was most prolific as an etcher and draughtsman, Conrad is best known as a portrait painter; of the work of the painter and etcher Johannes, only two oil paintings (Zurich, Zentbib.) are known. Conrad's sons Dietrich Theodor Meyer II (1651-1733) and Johannes Meyer II (1655-1712) were both engravers; Dietrich was also a goldsmith and Johannes II was also a painter.
