Frans Hals (1582/84-1666) is one of the most outstanding Dutch painters of the seventeenth century. In addition to his unconventional and expressive portraits of the Haarlem elite, he was the first Dutch artist to paint social outcasts as individuals in portrait format. With his extraordinarily relaxed and free style, this Haarlem painter helped inspire modernist painting like no other artist of his time.

This monographic exhibition catalogue presents 75 works by Frans Hals, providing an insight into the life and work of an artist who, despite the prestige he enjoyed during his lifetime, was forgotten before being rediscovered in the 19th century by the Impressionists and Realists.
