The 1911 ''Encyclopædia Britannica'' has an article on Frans Hals by [[Paul George Konody]], who observes: Hals's reputation waned after his death and for two centuries he was held in such poor esteem that some of his paintings, which are now among the proudest possessions of public galleries, were sold at auction for a few pounds or even shillings. The portrait of [[Johannes Acronius]] realized five shillings at the [[Enschede]] sale in 1786. The [[:File:Frans Hals 042.jpg|''Portrait of Willem van Heythuysen'']] at the [[Alte Pinakothek]] sold in 1800 for £4: 5s<ref name=EB1911/> (£4.25 in decimal notation).

Nevertheless, Hals's art did not go altogether unappreciated in the time between his death in 1666 and the 1860s. In his ''[[The Great Theatre of Dutch Painters|Groote Schouburgh]]'' (1718–1721), [[Arnold Houbraken]] recorded Hals's life and praised his style, adding that the figures in one of the large group portraits: ''... zoo kragtig en natuurlyk geschildert zyn, dat zy de aanschouwers schynen te willen aanspreken'' ("... are painted so powerfully and naturally, they seem to want to talk to us").<ref name=Schouburgh>{{cite book|last= Houbraken|first= Arnold|date= 1718|title= "Frans Hals" ''section in'' De groote schouburgh der Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen|trans-title= The Great Theatre of Dutch Painters and Paintresses|url= https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/houb005groo01_01/houb005groo01_01_0043.php|language= Dutch|publisher= Published by Arnold Houbraken himself|access-date= 2 August 2022|archive-date= 6 May 2022|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20220506015200/https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/houb005groo01_01/houb005groo01_01_0043.php|url-status= live}}</ref> Dutch artists known to have admired Hals enough to make copies of his paintings include [[Cornelis van Noorde]] (1731–1795) and [[Wybrand Hendricks]] (1744–1831). Empress [[Catherine the Great]] (reigned 1762–1796) acquired ten Hals works for her collection. [[Jean-Honoré Fragonard]] (1732–1806) visited the Alte Pinakothek to copy Hals's work, and Hals's influence is apparent in Fragonard's ''portraits de fantaisie''. [[Antoine Watteau]] (1684–1721) made study sketches after Hals. At the [[Royal Academy of Arts|Royal Academy]] in London, [[Joshua Reynolds]] (1723–1792) lectured on Hals in 1774, praising his handling of faces and the consequent remarkable individuality of his portraits. Reynolds was less enthusiastic about Hals's characteristic loose finish, which he thought betrayed impatience. Subsequently, in 1781 Reynolds visited the Hals collection then at [[City Hall (Haarlem)|Haarlem Town Hall]] (now at the [[Frans Hals Museum]]) and soon after bought two Hals works. Reynolds's biographer [[James Northcote]] (1736–1831), who was a fellow portraitist, remarked that Hals could have caught a bird in flight, grasping it, as it were, from life – something he said Titian would not have been capable of.<ref name=Fenomeen>{{cite book |last=Erftenmeijer |first=Antoon |date= 2014 |title=Het fenomeen Frans Hals |publisher=Frans Hals Museum |location=Haarlem |isbn=97-894-6208-167-3 |pages=148–150}} There is also an English edition: ISBN 978-9462081680, titled ''Frans Hals: A Phenomenon.''</ref>

Starting at the middle of the 1860s his prestige rose again thanks to the efforts of critic [[Théophile Thoré-Bürger]].<ref>Johnson, Paul.

Hals's work remains admired, particularly with young painters who can find many lessons about practical technique from his unconcealed brushstrokes.<ref name=Schjeldahl/> Hals's works have found their way to countless cities all over the world and into museum collections. From the late 19th century, they were collected everywhere—from Antwerp to Toronto, and from London to New York. Many of his paintings were then sold to American collectors.

Several of his most important works are owned by the town council of Haarlem. They are now at the [[Frans Hals Museum]] in the Groot Heiligland, Haarlem.<ref>{{Citation |last=Middelkoop |first=Norbert E. |title=Frans Hals: A Survey of Current Research |date=2024 |work=Frans Hals |pages=9–12 |editor-last=Middelkoop |editor-first=Norbert E. |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/jj.22135982.4 |access-date=2025-01-01 |series=Iconography – Technique – Reputation |publisher=Amsterdam University Press |isbn=978-90-485-6606-8 |editor2-last=Ekkart |editor2-first=Rudi E.O.}}</ref> Before 1913 they hung in the Town Hall, where [[Impressionists]] went to see them.

The [[Hals (crater)|Hals crater]] on Mercury is named in his honour.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/2334 |title=Hals |publisher=NASA |work=Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature |access-date=1 September 2015 |archive-date=27 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170327170008/https://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/2334 |url-status=live }}</ref>
