Book Description
Frans Hals (1580-1666) is, like Rembrandt and Vermeer, one of the greats of the Dutch Golden Age. Hals primarily made his name with his lively, virtuoso portraiture made in the bustling, prosperous city of Haarlem: group portraits of high-ranking gentlemen and more informal scenes of drunkards, laughing children and musicians. He was admired by artists such as van Gogh, Édouard Manet, Max Liebermann and James Abbott McNeill Whistler as the first modern painter. This book acquaints the reader with the Dutch master in an accessible manner: what did he look like, who were his predecessors and contemporaries, and what makes him so unique? The first overview of the life and work of Hals written for a broad audience, Frans Hals is affordably priced and richly illustrated with many details and reproductions of 69 of Hals' most famous works selected from international collections.

Book Description
Excerpt from Frans Hals N 0 one can be more conscious than the author of the many shortcomings of this work. No one can be more disappointed than he that he has failed to find new and hoped-for light upon one or two problems of the painter's life, which remain yet for abler hands to exercise their industry upon. Here again he can but crave the sympathy of the reader. One word yet of personal apology. The author strove for some time to avoid the perpetual immodest appearance of the first person singular. It is said that the compositors who set up the type for Cellim s memoirs find that they are called upon to supply the letter I in wholly disproportionate quantity. Lest the printer should discover the like propensity in this volume, the author at first endeavoured to suppress the assertive capital as far as possible. But the endeavour had soon to be abandoned, and, to say nothing of the clumsiness of the other method, the reader will perhaps agree that it is after all more fair to him, and more just to the subject, that what are merely the author's personal views should not be put forth as if they were matters of general acceptance.

The Portraitist
Author: Steven NadlerPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022669836X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
"In the seventeenth century some of the most advanced painting in Europe was produced in the Netherlands. Rembrandt dominated the radical progress of painting in Amsterdam, and Vermeer did so in Delft. Frans Hals led the vanguard in Haarlem where he painted some of the most animated, individualized portraits of the era, or of any era, for that matter. Now, Steven Nadler has produced the first biography of this elusive Dutch artist to be published in many years. Hals left behind no letters or other personal papers, though luckily a wealth of other sources offer details of his life and personality. Nadler has fleshed out Hals's biography by casting it against the drama of Holland's revolution against Spanish rule, the acute struggles between Protestantism and Catholicism in the Low Countries, and the rise of Holland as a colonial power and center of industry and commerce. The result is an authoritative picture of Hals and life in his studio and a robust work of seventeenth-century social and cultural history. Nadler serves up the sights, smells, and sounds of life in Haarlem. He takes us into cloth factories, taverns, busy studios, and bustling markets. He takes us behind the scenes of the picture trade. He leads us along the newly invented shorelines where weavers laid out large, billowing lengths of cloth to bleach in the sun. He takes us into new Protestant churches and into old Catholic ones. We witness the bloody politics of the long Reformation and the 1635 plague that devastated the Dutch Republic. What emerges is a deftly written story of a complex artist and the tumultuous world he inhabited. Accented with images of life in seventeenth-century Holland and a color gallery of works by Hals and his peers, The Portraitist is a work of great charm and importance and will stand as the first full biography of one of Europe's most important artists for many years"--
