Frans Hals Studies provides a platform for new research into Dutch 17th-century art, exploring Haarlem as a center of artistic innovation. In collaboration with the Frans Hals Museum, this book series aims to initiate, stimulate, and facilitate art historical and material-technical research on the work of Frans Hals, his milieu, and the impact his work had on contemporaries and later artists.

The book series includes academic research originating from the Frans Hals Museum's research program, focusing on the workshop practices of Frans Hals and his Haarlem contemporaries, as well as other relevant contexts. The series also welcomes book proposals from scholars not affiliated with the Frans Hals Museum. It caters to an international audience of art historians, museum curators, conservators, librarians, and other specialists.
