{"product_id":"frans-hals-merry-drinker-fine-art-print","title":"Frans Hals — Merry Drinker | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA laughing man with a moustache and short beard turns toward us, a wide black hat tilted over his brow and his cheeks flushed. One hand is raised open; the other holds a tall glass of pale wine. He wears an ochre jerkin with a broad white ruffled collar, a patterned belt and an oval ornament hung from a cord at his waist. The background is a plain warm grey, and the brushstrokes remain visible across the collar and sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rijksmuseum calls this a pinnacle of Hals's bold, loose rough style, the brushstrokes criss-crossing the canvas to give an impression of rapid execution and of movement. His dress suggests a civic guardsman or military man, caught just before raising his glass in a toast to the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, c. 1628-1630; Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrans Hals (c. 1582–1666) was a Dutch painter, born in Antwerp, whose family moved to Haarlem when he was young. He studied there with the Flemish émigré Karel van Mander, joined the Haarlem Guild of Saint Luke in 1610, and lived and worked in the city for the rest of his life, running a busy workshop. He painted portraits of burghers and married couples, group portraits of civic guard companies and hospital regents, and tronies, or character studies, made for the open market. He is known for loose, visible brushwork and lively, informal sitters. His work is held by the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, the Rijksmuseum and the Louvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
