Essays cover all the important aspects of Hals's oeuvre, including his militia paintings, his spectacular family portraits and his depictions of laughter: he was one of very few artists throughout the history of Western painting who successfully managed to paint people smiling and laughing. The texts also provide an overview of the artist's life, and examine his extraordinarily virtuoso technique, which involved painting extremely fast straight on to the canvas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The authors set out to place Hals and his work firmly in the context of his time, employing new previously unpublished archival research and technical findings. For the first time, an overview is given of all the apprentices who worked for Hals. Other themes, such as the design for portrait prints or the humour seen in the works of Frans Hals, have never before been treated separately. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by National Gallery Global\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The National Gallery, London  \u003cbr\u003e (September 30, 2023-January 21, 2024) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (February 15-June 9, 2024)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Gallery London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857097122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244","brand":"Bart Cornelis, Jaap Van Der Veen, Friso Lammertse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43140588208309,"sku":"9781857097122","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_32681615-3bd9-443c-b4d3-de29cb476457.jpg?v=1695701760","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/frans-hals-9781857097122","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
