Biography
The recorded working language is Dutch. Places of work recorded in the authority are Rotterdam. Works named in the authority record are The Siege and Capture of the City of Hulst from the Spaniards, November 5, 1645, Departure of Charles II of England at Scheveningen, June 2, 1660 and Departure of Spanish Occupation Troops from Breda, October 10, 1637. Work by Hendrick de Meijer is recorded in the collections of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, Noordbrabants Museum, Rijksmuseum and Statens Museum for Kunst.
He was born in Rotterdam and is considered by the RKD to be a landscape painter of the "Albert Cuyp school". He is not to be confused with the later landscape painter Hendrik de Meijer who traveled to England. He is known for dated works and is mentioned in Rotterdam archives from 1640 to 1689, but after that nothing more is known of him.
