Herman van Lin was mainly active in Utrecht, where he was first recorded in 1659 when he served on the committee of the local guild; he did so repeatedly, serving as dean in 1668, 1669 and 1670. His main subjects were battle scenes and landscapes. He was influenced by his slightly older townsman Dirck Stoop and Philips Wouwerman. His works show a great variety. many are signed 'H.v.Lin' and Italianate elements are often incorporated, but that was customary at Utrecht in those days.
