About Louis Soonius

  • Biography

    Impressionist painter Louis Soonius drew inspiration from the city and outlying areas of The Hague, where he lived his entire life apart from one brief interlude. Soonius made frequent trips to the nearby beach of Scheveningen, where he painted his most admired and desired canvases. Around 1900, Scheveningen began to develop from a fishing village into a cosmopolitan beach resort. Soonius depicted children and bathers lounging on the beach under the hazy summer sun. Occasionally these paintings also include a view of the famous Grand Hotel Kurhaus.
