He was born in Brussels. The early Flemish biographer Cornelis De Bie reports in his Het Gulden Cabinet published in 1662 that Meert was well known as a portrait painter, who imitated the style of Anthony van Dyck.[2] According to the Dutch biographer Arnold Houbraken he was a good portrait painter whose works hung in various guild halls in Brussels.[3]
