Hermann Vogel (1854 – 1921) was a German illustrator, who studied at the art academy of Dresden. Vogel worked for the publishing company Braun & Schneider and was a founding member of the Deutsche Kunstgesellschaft (German Art Association) and contributed to Julius Lohmeyer's journal Die Deutsche Jugend and the weekly periodical Fliegende Blätter. Vogel early followed the Nazarene movement, while his later material was in the Biedermeier style. Illustrations by Vogel appeared in an 1881 publication of Auserwählte Märchen by Hans Christian Andersen, in an 1887 publication of Volksmärchen der Deutschen by Johann Karl August Musäus, and in 1891 in Die Nibelungen by Gustav Schalk. He illustrated an edition of Bluebeard in 1887, The Juniper Tree in 1893 and of Hansel and Gretel in 1894. .
