HEEREMANS, Thomas
(b. ~1640 Haarlem, d. 1694 Haarlem)
Dutch painter of landscapes and panoramas. He was admitted to the guild in Haarlem in 1664, where he was a pupil of Caesar van Everdingen. No influence of the classicist van Everdingen can be found in the work of Heeremans, by whom no figure studies are known today. However, his style, particularly notable in his depiction of river scenes, is very much influenced by the slightly older Haarlem landscape painter Klaes Molenaer, though Heeremans brings a greater vibrancy both in palette and movement to the rather melancholic scenes of Molenaer.
Heeremans was also active as a dealer.
