Hermann Linde

Hermann Linde (26 August 1863, Lübeck - 26 June 1923, Arlesheim) was a German painter in the Symbolist style. He specialized in "Oriental" themes. His painting "The Langar Procession" won the Gold Medal of the Viceroy of India. It is currently in the collection of the Übersee-Museum Bremen. In 1896, he stayed briefly in Paris and Tunisia, then spent the next two years at the artists' colony in Dachau.

Some of his father's relatives had been interested in the Anthroposophical Society. After attending a large meeting and lecture in 1906, he became a member. In 1910 he met Steiner, who invited him to paint interior murals for the First Goetheanum.
