"A Boy Blowing on a Firebrand to Light a Charcoal" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Godfried Schalcken. Known for his mastery in the portrayal of artificial light sources, Schalcken's painting exemplifies his skill in capturing the interplay of light and shadow. The artwork depicts a young boy, illuminated by the glow of a firebrand, as he carefully attempts to ignite a piece of charcoal. This subject is characteristic of the tenebrist style, where dramatic contrasts between darkness and light are used to enhance the narrative and emotional depth of the scene.

Godfried Schalcken (1643–1706) was a student of Gerrit Dou, a master of the fijnschilder technique, which is evident in the meticulous detail and refined finish of this work. Schalcken's paintings often feature intimate domestic scenes set at night, illuminated by candlelight or, as seen in this piece, by other sources of light. His works are celebrated for their technical proficiency and the subtle rendering of textures and materials.

"A Boy Blowing on a Firebrand to Light a Charcoal" is a testament to Schalcken's fascination with the effects of light and his ability to create a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The painting invites viewers to engage with the momentary action and the concentration of the boy, highlighting Schalcken's talent in bringing everyday scenes to life with a sense of warmth and realism.

The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the understanding of Northern Baroque art and the exploration of light in painting. It continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Schalcken's contribution to the development of genre painting in the Dutch Golden Age.
