Beschreibung
The Man with the Slouch Hat by Frans Hals is one of the best-known masterpieces of Kassels 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 Slawomir 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 Slawomir Elsner
