Hermione Hammond (11 August 1910 – 29 July 2005) was an English painter who is most famous for her paintings of London damaged by the Blitz during World War II.
Born in Hexham, Northumberland, to an artist mother and an invalid father, Hermione Hammond had one brother and one sister.
She went on to study art at the Chelsea Polytechnic, then at the Royal Academy Schools, under Walter Russell and Tom Monnington.
She learned mural decoration at the Royal College of Art and attended night classes in etching.
With an added sense of urgency, she absorbed all she could of the Italian Renaissance in Rome, Florence, Arezzo and Ravenna.
