Frans Hals
Frans Hals (1582–1666), born in Antwerp, Belgium, was a Dutch Golden Age painter known for his lively and expressive portraiture. His notable works include "The Laughing Cavalier" and various group portraits of civic guards. Hals's dynamic brushwork and ability to capture the character of his subjects set him apart from his contemporaries. His paintings are held in major collections such as the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Louvre in Paris, solidifying his legacy as one of the foremost portraitists of the 17th century.
