2013 is officially Frans Hals Year, marking exactly 100 years since
the Frans Hals Museum opened its doors to display the work of this
key Dutch artist of the seventeenth century. The most important
exhibition in this jubilee year is "Frans Hals: Eye to Eye with
Rembrandt, Rubens and Titian," in which key works by Hals are
presented alongside paintings by such famed colleagues as Titian,
Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Jordaens and Rubens. In this eponymous
publication, all the works in the exhibition are presented side by
side, enabling the reader to compare the masterpieces and see just
how the artists inspired one another. These unique comparisons and
juxtapositions of master painters lead to a far deeper and more
nuanced understanding of seventeenth-century painting and its tight
web of artistic connections. Famous painters, after all, often
produced their works in response to one another, with the aim of
proving their creative and technical mettle--while also aiming to
surpass (and perhaps even intimidate) their fellow artists. This
painterly swordsmanship spurred individual artists--and art as a
whole--to ever greater heights. A selection of distinguished
international specialists casts new light on Hals' virtuosity, his
central role in seventeenth-century culture and his artistic
relationship with his contemporaries in Antwerp (Rubens, Van Dyck)
and Amsterdam (Rembrandt).
