It is thought that Gheringh arrived in Antwerp around 1660. He was for the first time inscribed as a member of the Painters’ Guild of Saint Luke in the year1662/1663. He died here in 1668. Almost all his signed and dated works are from his Antwerp years; they represent local church interiors. He painted several versions of the interior of the former Jesuit church, today known as the Carolus Borromeus church in Antwerp, showing the original decoration by Rubens, that got destroyed by fire in 1718.
