Andries Wiemans

Andries Wiemans is documented as an artist active in 1836, known exclusively through his documented output of prints. While biographical details remain scarce, Wiemans’s recorded works point toward a specialization in documentary or archaeological reproductions, possibly stemming from expeditions or institutional projects.

Five of Wiemans’s prints are currently represented in major museum collections. All five documented works share the title Reliëf met Boeddhistische goden, mogelijk van de tempel Candi Mendut, indicating a concentrated focus on high-quality prints depicting sculptural reliefs, likely those associated with the Candi Mendut temple in Java.

The entirety of the known artistic documentation for Andries Wiemans prints is preserved within the prestigious Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam. These historical documents and reproductions are valuable for researchers and collectors, often made available for study and reproduction; as historical documents, many such works fall into the public domain, offering access to downloadable artwork for educational purposes.
