Description
Capturing the human in painting
Frans Hals is one of the most important portrait painters of all time. Like Rembrandt, the famous Dutch Baroque master's striking portraits of the bourgeoisie and social outsiders are distinguished by their extraordinary vividness and accurate depiction. His sketch-like paintings, executed with bold brushstrokes, had a decisive influence on modernist painting.
This comprehensive publication coincides with the first major survey exhibition of Hals' oeuvre in more than thirty years.

About the Author
Frans Hals (1582/84 - 1666) was born in Antwerp, the son of a cloth merchant. In 1610 he was accepted into the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke. Hals created hundreds of genre paintings, individual, and group portraits and enjoyed great public prestige. Despite his fame during his lifetime, it was not until the nineteenth century that he was enthusiastically rediscovered by the Impressionists and Realists.
Includes texts by Bart Cornelis, Erik Eising, Dagmar Hirschfelder, Katja Kleinert, Friso Lammertse, Justus Lange, Jaap van der Veen.
