Frans Hals: Master of the Fleeting Moment

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 rendering. His sketchy paintings, executed with powerful brushstrokes, had a decisive influence on modernist painting.

The art book "Frans Hals: Master of the Fleeting Moment" is the most complete overview of the painter. Frans Hals (1585-1666) is considered one of the most important Old Dutch Masters. He worked all his life in Haarlem, and he became best known for his lively and colorful militia paintings and depictions of contemporaries. Hals produced hundreds of genre paintings, individual and group portraits and enjoyed great public esteem. Despite his fame during his lifetime, it was not until the nineteenth century that he was enthusiastically rediscovered by the Impressionists and Realists.
