Frans Hals

Dutch painter
Years: 1580 - 1666

Frans Hals (c. 1580 – 26 August 1666) is a Dutch Golden Age painter.

He is notable for his loose painterly brushwork, and helps introduce this lively style of painting into Dutch art.

Hals is also instrumental in the evolution of 17th century group portraiture.
