Hermanus Davinus (Herman) Heuff (The Hague, July 9, 1875 – Heemstede, July 1, 1945) became known as a painter (Hague School). From 1907 onward, he primarily created etchings and drawings. Heuff attended evening classes at the Hague Academy, under Floris Arntzenius. He painted cityscapes and historic places in Zeeland, South Holland, and Italy. Heuff associated with Theo van Hoytema and Willem de Zwart.
In the 1930s, he went blind. Therefore, a benefit exhibition was held in June 1933 and the Herman Heuff Fund was established. Artist friends like Marinus Heijnes made artworks available, which were sold by auction. One of the buyers was Queen Wilhelmina. After going blind, Heuff continued to be an artist; during these years, he created ceramic sculptures.
Heuff died in 1945 in his home, the Dorstige Kuil (Dorty Hollow), in Heemstede. He is said to have been an inspiration for Anton Pieck. Heuff's paintings can be found in the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag.
