Frans Hals, born in Antwerp about 1584, was 20 years older than the great Rembrandt van Rijn whom he scarcely knew. He married twice, produced 14 children and a mass of canvases, but had on the whole, almost as dull an existence as the stolid, rich little city of Haarlem in which he spent most of his life.

Apple-cheeked Bruno saw battlefront service, was 19 when the War ended. He came through unscathed, undistinguished, but two brothers were killed.
