Gerard Melder (Dutch, Amsterdam 1693 - Utrecht 1754) was an 18th century miniature and watercolor painter from the Northern Netherlands. The artist was named after his grandfather, the Utrecht fortifications master Gerard Melder, who published an instructional booklet in 1658 on the Utrecht fortifications. The younger Gerard Melder made copies on ivory after Rosalba Carriera whose miniatures he admired and collected. Melder became, through practice, quite good at making Roslba-like miniature copies of Dutch masters for snuffboxes, and later he tried his hand at larger works, such as Arcadian style landscapes, an example of which is part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art drawings collection.
