Louise de Hem was a Belgian painter. She grew up in Ypres, Belgium. Her talent was discovered by Thodore Ceriez , a painter who had married her sister Hlne. Since women were not yet admitted to the academies he educated her and already in 1885 her painting De Oesters was exhibited at a salon in Spa. Jules Breton saw her work and encouraged her to go to Paris for further education.
