Simon Peter Tilemann (1601, Lemgo – 1668, Vienna), was a German Baroque painter who was active Bremen, Kassel, and Italy.
Biography[edit]
According to Houbraken he first learned to paint flowers and he had a daughter who could paint flowers in watercolors.[1] He was a good landscape painter who spent many years in Italy, but later switched to portrait painting and who painted the portrait of Ferdinand III, Holy Roman Emperor while in Vienna.[1] Houbraken spoke with his grandson Bokelman who lived in Amsterdam and probably saw some of Tilemann's portraits and his daughter's (Bokelman's mother's) watercolors there. Houbraken mentions landscapes, statues, and flowers.[1] Houbraken engraved his portrait based on an engraving by Chr. Hagen. According to the RKD he is mostly known for portraits in Bremen and genre scenes in Kassel.[2]
