Frans Hals (1582-1666)

What I like about so many of these Flemish artists is that they painted people who actually existed. These were not people idealized but ordinary and cheerfully plain looking.

Jacques Stella

Jacques Stella (1596 – 29 April 1657) was a French painter.

Audacious and varied, his work moved easily between the realism of direct observation, the antique spirit and a higher religious inspiration. After his death his paintings and engravings were often sold as works by Poussin. His work was often engraved, allowing his art to be reach a wide audience, especially after his death under the impetus of his niece and heiress, the artist Claudine Bouzonnet-Stella (died 1697). A retrospective of his work occurred at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon from 17 November 2006 to 19 February 2007, before touring to the Musée des Augustins at Toulouse from 17 March to 18 June 2007.

Paintings of a very dark history.
