Bust of Frans Hals

Frans Hals the Elder (c. 1582–1666) was a Dutch Golden Age painter, normally of portraits, who lived and worked in Haarlem. He is notable for his loose painterly brushwork, and he helped introduce this lively style of painting into Dutch art, playing an important role in the evolution of 17th-century group portraiture.老弗兰斯·哈尔斯（约1582年—1666年）是荷兰黄金时代画家，主攻肖像画创作，在哈勒姆定居并从事艺术创作。他以随性洒脱的绘画笔触著称，曾助力将这种充满活力的绘画风格引入荷兰画坛，并在17世纪团体肖像画的演进历程中发挥了关键作用。
