Berlin celebrates one of the greatest portrait painters of all time: along with Rembrandt and Vermeer, Frans Hals ranks among the most outstanding Dutch painters of the 17th century. In addition to unconventional, expressive portraits of the Haarlem elite, he was the first artist in Holland to paint portraits of social outsiders as individuals.
With his extraordinarily relaxed and free style, this painter helped to inspire Modernist painting like no other artist of his time.
