Frans Hals Museum - List of Painters

List of Painters

Between 1605 and 1635 over 100,000 paintings were produced in Haarlem. Not all of these have survived, and most have left town, but this does say something about the artistic climate in the city. At that time art ownership in the city was 25%, a record high. More art has survived up to today from that period in Haarlem than from any other Dutch city, thanks mostly to the Schilder-boeck published by Karel van Mander there in 1604.

What follows is a list of the prominent painters through the centuries on display in the museum.

  • Jan van Scorel, 1495–1562

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or painters:

    Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    ... too many young painters of the day work for the crowd, and not for art. But, then, should not the painters of the day work for the education of the crowd?
