Discover one of the greatest portrait painters in Western art: Frans Hals. 🎨 Book now, Members go free: www.nationalgallery.org.uk/ex...
Hals was one of the most sought-after painters of his generation. A gifted artist whose deft brushwork was unparalleled, he built his reputation on a new style of portrait - highly unusual in his time - that showed relaxed, lively sitters, often smiling, and even laughing.
17th-century Dutch audiences were enthralled, and the popularity of his portraits earned him the status of Haarlem’s famous son.
This exhibition, the first major retrospective of Hals in more than thirty years, means a new generation can discover why he deserves his place as one of the greatest painters in Western art.
Exhibition organised by the National Gallery, the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and the Gemäldegalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin with the special collaboration of the Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem
