Hals continued to use this technique, which gave a striking immediacy to his perceptive portrayals of character, all his life, painting with increasing freedom as he grew older.

Frans Hals was a Dutch painter, one of the greatest masters of the art of portraiture, much admired for his brilliant lighting effects and the freedom of his brushwork.
Hals was born in Antwerp, Belgium, and was probably trained by the Dutch painter Karel van Mander.

 ARC ARTicles - Frans Hals - Virgil Elliott - Page 1/1
The style for which Hals is known today, the painterly approach wherein the brushwork reads as a sort of calligraphy in certain passages, giving the impression that the paintings were executed quickly and directly with great confidence, actually represents a minor percentage of his overall output.
Frans Hals' younger brother, Dirck Hals, was also a painter, and there is some similarity in his celebration of life to the elder Hals to be seen in his work, though he is less known in our time than in his, and was not quite as sure in his draftsmanship as his older brother.
Hals is most noted in our time as the first of the painterly painters, whose brushstrokes, by themselves, serve to identify the paintings as his work so surely as to render a signature superfluous.
