Bartholomeus Meyburgh (1624, Maassluis – 1708, The Hague), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
Biography
According to Houbraken he was a good portrait and history painter born in Maaslandsluis, who was a friend of the painter Christoffel Pierson, who was only three years younger than he, but whom he taught to paint in 1651. Together they made a trip to Germany in 1653. During his lifetime he painted for various courts in Germany and was still alive in 1661.
According to the RKD he worked in Maassluis until 1661, when he moved to The Hague where he became a member of the Confrerie Pictura (and where he is registered as 'coming from The Hague', not Maassluis). His pupil was Christoffel Pierson, and he is registered in Germany in the years 1684-1689, whereupon he returned to The Hague. He is known for portraits and religious works.
