Frans Hals | Dutch Golden Age painter

From: The Metropolitan Museum of Art

---

The celebrated portraitist and genre painter Frans Hals (1582-1666) has been placed second only to Rembrandt and, during the past hundred years, to Vermeer in the pantheon of great Dutch painters of the Golden Age.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, Hals was actually the most admired artist in some quarters - especially in Paris, since Vermeer’s small oeuvre was still only beginning to be defined, and Hals' bourgeois subjects, his often colorful palette, and above all his bold brushwork became more inspiring to Realist and Impressionist painters than was the venerable model of Rembrandt.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti | Pictures and poems | The portrait

O Lord of all compassionate control,

O Love! let this my lady's picture glow

⁠Under my hand to praise her name, and show

Even of her inner self the perfect whole:

That he who seeks her beauty's furthest goal,

⁠Beyond the light that the sweet glances throw
