Frans Hals is one of the greatest portrait painters of all time and, together with Rembrandt and Vermeer, is one of the most eminent Dutch seventeenth-century artists. Publishing to coincide with the The Wallace Collection exhibition of the same name, Frans Hals: The Male Portrait explores the artist's highly innovative approach to male portraiture in particular, from the beginning of his career in the 1610s until the end of his life in 1666. Through pose and virtuosic painterly technique, Hals completely revolutionised the male portrait into something entirely new and fresh, capturing and revealing his sitters' characters like no one else before him. The book includes the first in-depth study of Hals's great masterpiece, The Laughing Cavalier, from 1624. The extravagantly-dressed young man, confidently posed with his left arm akimbo in the extreme foreground of the picture and seemingly penetrating into the viewer's space, has been charming audiences for over a century. Richly illustrated, this book situates 'The Laughing Cavalier' within the artist's larger oeuvre and demonstrates how, at a relatively early point in his career, Hals was able to achieve his greatest masterpiece.

The canon of 17th-century painting is more than a century old and is only partially in keeping with the taste of the 21st century. This book shows how taste has developed over four centuries, what changes have occurred in it and what attitudes and circumstances underlie it. In total, the work of about 300 painters is discussed, more than 60 of which form the canon of the most important painters of the seventeenth century. Some examples: Rembrandt and Jan Steen as the most versatile, Bartholomeus van der Helst and Frans Hals as the most important portrait specialists, Johannes Vermeer and Gabriel Metsu as the greatest genre painters, Caesar van Everdingen as a classicist, Adriaen van der Werff as an academic and Hendrick Terbrugghen and Gerard van Honthorst as Caravaggists. The author of this large overview, Paul Schnabel, has been working on art history for sixty years, in particular with Dutch painting from the sixteenth century to the present. De canon van de schilderkunst van de 17de eeuw is al meer dan een eeuw oud en sluit nog maar beperkt aan bij de smaak van de 21ste eeuw. Dit boek laat zien hoe de smaak zich gedurende vier eeuwen heeft ontwikkeld, welke veranderingen daarin zijn opgetreden en welke opvattingen en omstandigheden daaraan ten grondslag lagen. In totaal wordt het werk van ongeveer 300 schilders besproken, ruim 60 daarvan vormen de canon van belangrijkste schilders van de zeventiende eeuw. Enkele voorbeelden: Rembrandt en Jan Steen als de meest veelzijdigen, Bartholomeus van der Helst en Frans Hals als de belangrijkste portretspecialisten, Johannes Vermeer en Gabriël Metsu als de grootste genreschilders, Caesar van Everdingen als classicist, Adriaen van der Werff als academist en Hendrick Terbrugghen en Gerard van Honthorst als caravaggisten. De auteur van dit grote overzicht, Paul Schnabel, houdt zich al zestig jaar bezig met kunstgeschiedenis, met name met de Nederlandse schilderkunst van de zestiende eeuw tot nu.
