He was a student of Matthäus Merian. He was successful as a painter of portrait and landscapes, but later specialized on copper engraving, producing more than a thousand works. He also produced the map of Switzerland by Conrad Gyger (1657) and a Planisphaerium Coeleste (1681).
His son Johannes Meyer (1655–1712) was also a painter and engraver.
