from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pauline Suij (born May 23, 1863 in Amersfoort; † September 25, 1949 in Amsterdam) was an artist who, as a student at the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten Den Haag, found her way to painting in the context of the 2nd generation of the Hague School and Amsterdam Impressionism . She belonged more to the second link of these two Dutch Impressionist movements.

life and work

She started working as a painter at the age of 23. Four years later she was accepted into the women's class at the Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in The Hague, where she studied from 1882 to 1884. In Amsterdam she was also a private student of Hendrik Johannes Havermann, Johannes Gijsbert Vogel and Jan Hillebrand Wijsmuller . She had a studio in Amersfoort until 1889 and then moved to Amsterdam to move into a new one. This was also in light of the fact that she had chosen Amsterdam as the location for her future work.

Influenced by the environment of the Allebé School and the Amsterdam Impressionist trend and her private lessons, she turned to the pictorial genre of landscape painting, specifically the sub-genre of the cityscape as the main focus. The up-and-coming, prosperous metropolis of Amsterdam exerted a significant influence. She used drawing and oil painting as a means of representation.

She had joined the art society Arti et Amicitiae (in the vernacular for short: Arti) as a freelance artist and participated in the local community.
