This  exhibition is the first devoted to his family group  portraiture. The show and the catalogue will unite  all of his four family portraits along with related  w orks by the artist and will examine the topic of  Hals’s family portraiture as a whole, placing it in the  context of his complete oeuvre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  The exhibition was prompted by the Toledo  Museum of Art’s acquisition in 2011 of Frans Hals’s  Van Campen Family Portra it in a Landscape, as well  as the recent conservation of Brussels’ Three  Children of the Van Campen Family. These two  works originally formed one composition, separated  for unknown reasons likely in the late 18th century  or early 19th century. The catalogu e reunites the  surviving sections of the Toledo\/Brussels painting  and proposes a reconstruction. It will discuss how  the four compositions are constructed, what  symbolic elements are included, and what we know  about the sitters. It also presents new discov eries  about the Van Campen family, placing them in  Haarlem society of the early 1600s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hirmer Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044986814807,"sku":"9783777430072","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783777430072.jpg?v=1750963357","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/frans-hals-portraits-a-family-reunion-9783777430072","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
