Hermann Linde

Hermann Linde (26 August 1863, Lübeck - 26 June 1923, Arlesheim) was a German painter in the Symbolist style.

His brothers were Max Linde, an ophthalmologist and art collector, and Heinrich Eduard Linde-Walther, who also became a painter.

He received his first art lessons from his grandfather Christian Peter Wilhelm Stolle, a decorative painter.

In 1890, prompted by his brother Heinrich, who had just returned from Cairo, he took a study trip to Sicily, Egypt and Tunisia.

In 1896, he stayed briefly in Paris and Tunisia, then spent the next two years at the artists' colony in Dachau.
