Topstukken — Frans Hals Museum
Curatorial Note
About the Exhibition: Topstukken
The museum holds the largest collection of paintings by Frans Hals in the world, shown alongside Haarlem artists such as Judith Leyster, Cornelis van Haarlem and Jacob van Ruisdael. Hals, ranked with Rembrandt and Vermeer, is known for lively portraits of real people, and even Manet and Van Gogh travelled to Haarlem to admire his group portraits of civic guards and regents.
Visitors also discover a rich collection of more recent art, including work by Leo Gestel, Charley Toorop and Sarah Lucas, so that sixteenth- and seventeenth-century, modern and contemporary art meet in one visit.
