Biography
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]
