An illuminating study of the singularly gifted Dutch artist Frans
Hals, a true revolutionary in the field of portraiture and one of
the most sought-after painters of his generation  This
beautifully illustrated book offers a fresh scholarly appraisal of
Frans Hals, more than 30 years since the last large exhibition
devoted to his work. Essays cover all the important aspects of
Hals’s oeuvre, including his militia paintings, his spectacular
family portraits and his depictions of laughter: he was one of very
few artists throughout the history of Western painting who
successfully managed to paint people smiling and laughing. The
texts also provide an overview of the artist’s life, and examine
his extraordinarily virtuoso technique, which involved painting
extremely fast straight on to the canvas. Â The authors set
out to place Hals and his work firmly in the context of his time,
employing new previously unpublished archival research and
technical findings. For the first time, an overview is given of all
the apprentices who worked for Hals. Other themes, such as the
design for portrait prints or the humour seen in the works of Frans
Hals, have never before been treated separately. Â Published
