From the fall of 2023, the loan of the painting “The Man with the Slouch Hat” by Frans Hals is planned for the major Frans Hals exhibition in London/Amsterdam. Before that, we are preparing a dignified farewell to the masterpiece. From June 15, the famous portrait will be joined by other works as a temporary intervention in the permanent exhibition: the etching by William Unger and the copy by Lovis Corinth after the Dutchman, as well as a new interpretation by Sławomir Elsner, which was acquired by the Museum Society. In addition, there are some preparatory studies by the artist. The compilation impressively proves: Frans Hals inspires until today. Elsner’s work will represent Frans Hals original then during the loan.
