The Portraitist
Foreword Marrigje Rikken, Head of Collections and Exhibitions – Frans Hals Museum. Frans Hals was one of the greatest portrait painters in history, and his style transformed ideas and expectations about what portraiture can do and what a painting should look like. Hals was a member of the great trifecta of Dutch Baroque painters alongside Rembrandt and Vermeer, and he was the portraitist of choice for entrepreneurs, merchants, professionals, theologians, intellectuals, militiamen, and even his fellow artists in the Dutch Golden Age.

De portretschilder
met een voorwoord van Marrigje Rikken, Hoofd Collecties & Presentaties van het Frans Hals Museum Frans Hals was naast Rembrandt en Vermeer een van de drie grote schilders van de zeventiende eeuw. Bovenal was hij de beroemdste portretschilder van zijn tijd. Kooplieden, regentessen, schutters, hele families en collega-kunstenaars stonden in de rij om zich door hem te laten portretteren. Waar zijn tijdgenoten kozen voor precisie, kenmerkte Hals’ stijl zich door levendigheid, zwier en beweging en een opzettelijk gebrek aan verfijning. Steven Nadler voert de lezer mee in de roerige wereld van de Nederlandse Republiek van de zeventiende eeuw en het artistieke, sociale en culturele leven van Haarlem, waar Frans Hals zijn leven lang woonde. Zoals de schilder met zijn typerende losse penseelvoering zijn geportretteerde tot leven wekte, zo slaagt de biograaf erin de schilder op een unieke manier naderbij te brengen door hem scherp in de historische context te plaatsen. De Nederlandse editie is voorzien van een voorwoord van Marrigje Rikken, hoofd collecties van het Frans Hals Museum.
