ArcadópolisFrans Hals
Dutch, 1582–1666. Baroque (Dutch Golden Age)
Frans Hals lived in Haarlem and was the great portrait painter of joy: his sitters smile, laugh and seem about to speak. He painted with quick, loose brushstrokes, very modern for his time. Van Gogh and Manet admired his way of painting.
