This guy painted people mid-laugh, with their mouths wide open and eyes crinkled, like he caught them in a rare, unposed moment. He spent his life in Haarlem, a Dutch city where beer flowed and everyone had an opinion about tulips. The surprise?
The man never used sketches; he just slapped paint on canvas and adjusted as he went. Find him in The Laughing Cavalier, the guy’s grin alone makes you grin back.
