Heinrich Hermanns (19 May 1862, Düsseldorf – 21 December 1942, Düsseldorf) was a German lithographer and landscape painter. He was also known for architectural paintings and vedute and was associated with the Düsseldorfer Malerschule.

Biography[]

He completed his primary education in 1883 and went on to study at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Eugen Dücker,  [de], Georg Heinrich Crola and Johann Peter Theodor Janssen. There, in response to the conservative policies of the  [de], he joined with Olof Jernberg, Eugen Kampf and Helmuth Liesegang to form the "Lucas-Club"; an association of forward-looking landscape painters. By 1891, the club had become subordinated to the  [de], and remained so until 1899, when a new "St. Lukas-Club" broke away.[1] He graduated from the Kunstakademie in 1893.

He had a special fondness for the landscapes of Holland, West and Northwest Germany. After 1887, he was a frequent visitor to Hümmling.[2] He also took long study trips to France, Spain and Italy, especially Lake Garda, Naples and Sicily. Later, he turned to architectural scenes and interiors; often rendered in watercolors.

Until the 1930s, he held showings at most major German art exhibitions, including the (Glaspalast in Munich, the Große Berliner Kunstausstellung and the  [de][3]). In 1900, he was appointed to the artistic advisory board of  [de], a cultural journal.[4]
