Frans Hals
1580-1666
Frans Hals Galleries
In the field of group portraiture his work is equalled only by that of Rembrandt. Hals's portraits, both individual and group, have an immediacy and brilliance that bring his sitters to life in a way previously unknown in the Netherlands. This effect, achieved by strong Baroque designs and the innovative use of loose brushstrokes to depict light on form, was not to the taste of critics in the 18th century and the early 19th, when his work was characterized as lazy and unfinished. However, with the rise of Realism and, later, Impressionism, Hals was hailed as a modern painter before his time. Since then his works have always been popular.

zigenarglickan
mk248 detta ar ett av hals mest intagande portratt, ocb bans penselforing far oss att anta att ban snabbt fangat en ogonblicksbild, flickan sneglar at siden pa en annan, osynlig person, vilket ar ett konstgrepp som hals ofta anvander sig av for att ge en illusion av att vi alla deltar i en verklig gemenskap. flickans utmanande urringning anty der att bon i sjalva verket ar prostituerad.
