这是一本对才华横溢的荷兰艺术家弗兰斯·哈尔斯进行深入研究的著作，他是肖像画领域的真正革新者，也是他所处时代最受追捧的画家之一。

这本图文并茂的书籍为弗兰斯·哈尔斯提供了全新的学术评价，距离上一次大型专注于他作品的展览已经过去了30多年。书中的文章涵盖了哈尔斯作品的所有重要方面，包括他的民兵画作、壮观的家庭肖像画以及他对笑声的描绘：在西方绘画史上，他是少数几位成功描绘出人们微笑和大笑的艺术家之一。文章还概述了艺术家的生平，并研究了他那非凡而熟练的技法，这种技法包括直接在画布上快速作画。

作者们致力于将哈尔斯及其作品坚实地置于他所处的时代背景中，运用了新的、此前未发表的档案研究和技术发现。书中首次提供了所有曾为哈尔斯工作的学徒的概览。其他主题，如肖像版画的设计或弗兰斯·哈尔斯作品中的幽默元素，以前从未被单独探讨过。

An illuminating study of the singularly gifted Dutch artist Frans Hals, a true revolutionary in the field of portraiture and one of the most sought-after painters of his generation

This beautifully illustrated book offers a fresh scholarly appraisal of Frans Hals, more than 30 years since the last large exhibition devoted to his work. 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.

The authors set out to place Hals and his work firmly in the context of his time, employing new previously unpublished archival research and technical findings.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.
