Frans Hals Portraits A Family Reunion

"Frans Hals (1582/83--1666) is one of the foremost portrait painters of the Dutch Golden Age, but he only painted four family groups portraits. This publication unites these family portraits--including one that is now in sections--along with related works by the artist and his contemporaries and examines the topic of Hals's family portraiture as a whole, placing it in the context of his complete oeuvre"--Back cover.
