 | | Frans Hals (1582/83 – August 26, 1666) was a Dutch painter during the Dutch Golden Age. |
 | | Hals also sometimes did genre painting: fishermen's children on the beach, a greengrocer woman, the ‘village idiot’ of Haarlem, Malle Babbe, and more of such pieces which, in a certain sense, can also be considered portraits, but which were most likely intended as ‘impressions of daily life’. |
 | | Hals displayed tremendous daring, great courage and virtuosity, and had a great capacity to pull back his hands from the canvas (or panel) as soon as the portrayed person was on it, alive and well. |
