点评:We had a day in Haarlem, so felt we should dutifully tick off some attractions. But with the Frans Hals museum, duty quickly transformed into delight. The moment you walk into the slick modern interior of the ancient hospital building and are given your little listening device, you know you are in for something good…
The introductory film is brilliant, explaining how, though painting in the late 16th and the 17th century, Hals's loose brushwork is a precursor of Impressionism. And indeed many of the famous Impressionists visited Haarlem on a Frans Hals pilgrimage.
Hals's own paintings are interspersed with works by his Haarlem contemporaries and also work with living artists, re-exploring similar themes to those in Hals's works.
The commentary on the device is excellent.
The museum is also family friendly. Children can even don a ruff and cavalier-style hat and have their photo taken in front of group portraits of rich, influential Haarlemites.
翻译:我们在哈勒姆待了一天,所以觉得应该按部就班地参观一些景点。但参观弗朗斯·哈尔斯博物馆后,这种“按部就班”很快就变成了“惊喜”。当你走进这座古老医院建筑时尚现代的内部装潢,拿到你的小型聆听设备时,你就知道接下来会是一次精彩的体验……
介绍影片非常精彩,它解释了哈尔斯虽然创作于16世纪末和17世纪,但他自由奔放的笔触却是印象派的先驱。事实上,许多著名的印象派画家都曾到访哈勒姆,追寻弗朗斯·哈尔斯的足迹。
哈尔斯的画作与他同时代哈勒姆画家的作品交相辉映,此外,博物馆还展出了一些当代艺术家的作品,他们重新探索了与哈尔斯作品相似的主题。
设备上的讲解非常出色。
博物馆也非常适合家庭参观。孩子们甚至可以戴上褶边和骑士风格的帽子,在富有的、有影响力的哈勒姆人的集体照前拍照。
