Biography

According to the RKD, Herman was the son of Pieter Hermansz Verelst and his wife, born in The Hague. He was the second of three sons who became painters: the other two were Simon and Johannes.

As an adult Verelst married, and some of his children, Cornelis and Maria Verelst, also became painters.[1] He became a pupil in the Confrerie Pictura in 1663, at the same time as his brother Simon. It was founded by his father, who taught all three sons.[1]

Verelst is known for portraits and still life paintings.[1] He worked in Amsterdam, Italy, and Vienna before moving to London.[1] Louis Michiel was his pupil.[1]
