Portrait Of Frans Hals
17 minutes, color, age range: 0 - adult, #289
Few facts are known about the Dutch painter Frans Hals as a person, but one can learn a lot about him as an artist by observing his paintings closely. In this film many of Hals's paintings - all portraits, for no other work is known - are shown chronologically. From time to time, however, earlier and later portraits are compared, thus showing his progress in mastering his material and his unique brushwork.
