Haarlem School.

Frans Hals belonged to one of the founding families of Haarlem. His parents, for reasons that are unknown, went to live in Antwerp for several years, during which time the artist was born. They must have returned to Haarlem before 1600, when their second son, Dirk, was born there. Hals was a pupil of Karel van Mander until no later than 1603. In 1610, Hals married Annetgen Harmensdr and became a member of the painter’s guild of Haarlem. Their son Herman Hals, born in 1611, later became a painter. Annetgen died in 1615. It has been stated that Hals had to answer charges of ill-treatment against his first wife, but it is now known they were in fact brought against his cousin of the same name. On 12 February 1617, he married Lysbeth Reyniers, and a daughter, Sara, was born on 21 February 1617. Other children followed: Frans, between 1617 and 1622; Adiaentgen, on 21 July 1623; Jacobus, on 13 December 1624; Reynier in 1627; Nicolaes, on 25 July 1628; and Maria, on 11 November 1631. Hals was never rich, burdened as he was with having to provide for a large family. It is said that, around 1650, he hoped to generate new income by opening up a teaching studio. Hals was criticised for his behaviour to his pupil Adriaen Brauwer, who purportedly fled Hals’ studio in order to avoid intolerable abuse. On the other hand, biographers of Adriaen van Ostade, another of Hals’ apprentices, make no mention of the master behaving violently towards his pupils....

This interesting artist, who was also a bookseller and art-dealer, has been most undeservedly neglected by biographers. He produced engravings that merit the enduring interest of connoisseurs, and had an influence on the artists of his era that seems to us to have gone unrecognised until now. He travelled in France, in England, in Italy and very probably in the Netherlands, acquiring as he went a reputation as an excellent connoisseur. In ...
