Frans Hals: quick, slashing brushstrokes, laughing faces and lively portraits caught in a moment.
Frans Hals the Elder (c. 1582 – 26 August 1666) was a Dutch Golden Age painter. He lived and worked in Haarlem, a city in which the local authority of the day frowned on religious painting in places of worship but citizens liked to decorate their homes with works of art. Wikipedia
