Details

German sculptor, active in Venice and the Veneto. In Italy he is known as Enrico (Arrigo) Marengo. His father, Heinrich Meyring the Elder was also sculptor. He was one of the pupils of the Flemish sculptor Josse De Corte. His activities in Venice are documented between 1679 and 1714. Among his earliest documented works are the reliefs of the altar of the Presentation of the Virgin in S. Maria della Salute in Venice, executed around 1674, and the Angel for the San Giuliano altar in the basilica of Santa Giustina in Padua (commissioned in 1680). In 1680 he was active in the decoration of the façade of Santa Maria del Giglio (portraits of the Barbaro family members, in collaboration with the architect Alessandro Tremignon) and San Moisè (1683-85), for which he created in the subsequent years the high altar with Moses receiving the tablets of the Law, the Adoration of the Golden Calf and the busts of donors. The statues of Annunciation in Santa Maria del Giglio are also by Meyring. //
