Life

Meyer was born in Linz in 1826 as the son of a doctor. From 1842 he was teaching at Bach's lithographic institute in Bonn and in 1845 moved to Düsseldorf for further training. Because of his participation in the March Revolution of 1848, he fled to the Netherlands and died in Antwerp in 1895 as a valued portrait painter.
