Talk:List of paintings by Frans Hals

Missing paintings
I've uploaded File:Boy Playing A Violin hq.jpg which is not on the list. Can somebody add it to the list? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:17, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for uploading this - it's really beautiful. I added the rkd link to the file, which says that though it is signed "FH", it has been reattributed to Judith Leyster or her husband. It is in the collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which unfortunately doesn't mention it on their website. I put it in the category "School of Frans Hals" for now. If you have a direct attribution to Frans Hals, you can link to that, but until you have that, I won't list it as autograph. It looks very authentic to me though and very similar to the other music playing boys by Hals. Jane (talk) 21:20, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It is now in the List of paintings by Judith Leyster. Jane (talk) 09:52, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Four pages for the same picture?
List of paintings by Frans Hals, Frans Hals catalog raisonné, 1974, Frans Hals catalog raisonné, 1989 and Marriage pendant portraits by Frans Hals

It's really necessary to have four pages for paintings of the same painter? 84.253.136.14 (talk) 16:05, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Necessary in what way? Jane (talk) 16:27, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Do one page it's not right? 84.253.136.14 (talk) 18:13, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The pendants don't fit side-by-side otherwise -- what's "not right" about it exactly? And how do imagine the catalogs should be shown? Now it is easy to see at a glance whether a painting is in one of the two definitive catalogs or not. Jane (talk) 13:47, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

New locations of four paintings
An unknown (unregistered) editor and I have recently amended the Gallery and Location information for four paintings in the list: two of them are now at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond and two others are now at the Pommersches Landesmuseum in Greifswald. (They are the only four at those locations in the list.) Could someone who is able please update their four pages on Wikimedia accordingly? Perhaps ? Thank you.

 * I looked at the two in Virginia. It turns out they are not part of the permanent collection but part of the Saunders collection, which may need its own Wikipedia page. See here and the inventory numbers contain the leading "L" for "loan". Then I looked at the Pomeranian State Museum and the history of its collections need some work. It is interesting that these paintings have been in Stettin, Coberg, Kiel and Greifswald all while being part of the same collection. This collection probably also needs its own Wikipedia article. I will take a look, as I doubt anyone else is interested in art provenance of the other Dutch paintings in that collection. I will adjust the Wikidata items for these now though.

 * Thank you,
 * Concerning the two paintings now at the Pommersches in Greifswald, I recently received the following information in correspondence with the curator at Veste Coburg, where the nice Unknown Woman once hung. I can't imagine they would regard it as confidential, and it might help with research on the collection:
 * "...vielen Dank für Ihre Nachfrage zu Frans Hals' Bildnis einer sitzenden Frau. Das Gemälde wurde 2012 an das Pommersche Landesmuseum gegeben: https://www.landesmuseum-mv.de/exponate/frans-hals-bildnis-eines-vornehmen-herrn-und-bildnis-einer-sitzenden-dame/. Historisch gehört es zur bedeutenden Stettiner Sammlung: 1945 wurde auf Veranlassung des Stettiner Oberbürgermeisters Faber (geb. in Neustadt bei Coburg) der Gemälde- und Graphikbestand des Museums Stettin nach Coburg evakuiert. 1970 wurde der gerettete Bestand weitgehend an die 1966 gegründete Stiftung Pommern/Kiel übergeben. Lediglich drei Gemälde blieben in Anerkennung der jahrelangen Betreuung vorerst in den Kunstsammlungen der Veste Coburg, darunter Frans Hals' Bildnis einer sitzenden Frau. Seit 1999 wird die Stettiner Sammlung im Pommerschen Landesmuseum in Greifswald bewahrt und präsentiert. Das war u. a. Auslöser für die Rückgabe von Frans Hals' Damenbildnis..."
 * As far as concerns the two lozenges at Richmond, Virginia: great minds... You have linked to the same press release as I did in the first post. The List of Paintings already says they are on long-term loan at the VMFA.
 * Thanks again, and best wishes Frans Fowler (talk) 13:20, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
