Frans Hals

Frans Hals is the most authoritative and perceptive study of one of the greatest Dutch painters of the Golden Age. Author Seymour Slive is widely recognized as one of the greatest living authorities on Dutch art. Here, he places Hals’ career in the social and historical context of seventeenth—century Holland, exploring the artist’s portraiture alongside works by Hals’ predecessors and contemporaries.

Engaging, informative, and stunningly produced, the newly reissued Frans Hals is a timeless record of an iconic artist.
