I've seen the Laughing Cavalier in person once, quite by accident and I've been in love with it ever since. It's such a treat to gather some of his best works in one exhibition. From his brushstrokes and dynamic poses in his portraits they emanate a great sense of joie de vivre and the energy is infectious.
I've already bought the tickets, Frans Hals we are coming to see you darling...my heart is bursting with joy. This magnificent and talented painter is finally celebrated in a big exhibition in my favourite city. Is a dream that comes truer for me...❤
An extraordinarily gifted artist, Frans Hals portraits are so spontaneous and full of life unlike works of his fellow artists of that time!! Hats off to The National Gallery for arranging such a wonderful exhibition of this very great Dutch artist!!🫡🫡👏👏🥰🥰❤❤
So.... realising it was silver plated, and not brass as it initially appeared, out came the silver polish, and now I'm looking at a glittering, well patinad tribute of celebration, to a man renown for painting celebratory paintings, that is so cool.
"A tronie is a type of work common in Dutch Golden Age painting and Flemish Baroque painting that depicts an exaggerated or characteristic facial expression. These works were not intended as portraits or caricatures but as studies of expression, type, physiognomy or an interesting character "
Eventually, after lots of lion handles, I found identical lions, on an, armorial, french planter, described as being from around mid 1800's. It also had the same gadrooned rim as the bucket has.

Franz Hal’s is one of the greatest with Rubens , Van Dyck or Rembrandt but strangely not so popular. He really deserves a exhibition of his own.
This is a super short video, well done National Gallery
I’d love to visit. Thank you for still presenting to those who aren’t able to be there in person.
It's our pleasure - we have a few more videos on Frans Hals and the exhibition here: th-cam.com/play/PLvb2y26xK6Y7pbJwjoJd0MQ63mdYNDOGt.html
He was amazingly talented.
Next year in Amsterdam!
This paintings makes me smiling. The people looks so good humoured.
The Wallace Collection is amazing. I highly recommend seeing it if you're ever in London.
Wonderful thanks for sharing
An amazing curatorial effort to gather together so many pieces for the first time in a generation!
I have seen one of these paintings ( lute player) before but I just learned his name today.
A new favourite

Thank you for showing this video ❤❤
Love 🎨👨🎨
I was able to see The Lute Player in the Louvre when I was a university student!
Wonderful! Thank you!
Dankjewel.
Loved this exhibition. I learned so much about this great artist. Glad the Wallace can loan their pieces now 😇
So glad you enjoyed it!
Top painter
Wonderful to see this,also I must say how impressed I am by the quality

are all these paintings coming to Amsterdam next year?
Hi Martijn, yes - these paintings will also feature in the Frans Hals exhibition at the Rijksmuseum next year.
I thought the Hals exhibition exhibition at the Wallace collection last year was better - more focus and intensity of subject matter

Interesting: the 'Laughing Cavalier's' smile, does not extend to his eyes--a measure of Hals' skill.
Pause the video and cover his moustache...is he smiling ?
Remarquable. Ce qui est un peu bizarre c'est qu'un tableau du 17eme me parle naturellement. C'est à la fois formidable et un peu triste.
The clothing they used to wear looks so uncomfortable, its like they were trying to imbue a peacock or some kind of turkey or game bird............
