De Gruyter Frans Hals inspiriert: Der Mann mit dem Schlapphut
The Man with the Slouch Hat by Frans Hals is one of the best-known masterpieces of Kassel’s Picture Gallery. During his visit in 1907 Lovis Corinth confessed: "Franz Hals painted just like me. [...] I don't need to pretend at all." The result was a creative copy based on the painting, which - for all their differences - reveals the kinship of the two artists. Both works can be seen together for the first time in Wilhelmshöhe Palace. The paintings are supplemented by a modern paraphrase by Sławomir Elsner, which was acquired by the Museumsverein Kassel e. V. This proves: Frans Hals still inspires today! Frans Hals «Der Mann mit dem Schlapphut» Lovis Corinth Sławomir Elsner
