Hans Herrmann was a German painter best known for his Impressionist renderings of the landscape of the Netherlands. Employing lively stippled brushstrokes and abbreviated patches of color, Hermann’s works often employ neutral tones to convey the grey light and murky canals of Dutch cities. Among his best-known works is Selling Flowers on the Flower Market, Amsterdam, a moody canvas capturing colorful flowers on an otherwise overcast day. Born on March 8, 1858 in Berlin, Germany, he went on to study at the Academy of Art in Düsseldorf under German landscape painter Eugen Gustav Dücker. Hermann was considered part of the “Group of Eleven” painters, which also included the famed German Impressionist Max Liebermann. Hermann died on July 1, 1942 in Berlin, Germany.
