Artists Volker Hermes and Peter Brathwaite visit our Frans Hals (aka ‘master of elbows’) exhibition. They discuss how they relate to capturing character and which of Hals’s subjects would have known the best drinking spots.
Artists on Artists is a new series from the National Gallery available to watch free on YouTube. We host artists of all kinds and invite them to reflect on themes across artistic genres in relation to our exhibitions and collection.
