"Artist and Model Looking at an Ancient Statue by Lamplight" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Godfried Schalcken. Known for his mastery of chiaroscuro and candlelit scenes, Schalcken's work often captures intimate moments that blend everyday life with a sense of drama and intrigue. This particular painting is a fine example of his skill in manipulating light to create a mood and focus the viewer's attention.

The painting depicts an artist, presumably a self-portrait of Schalcken himself, and his model as they study an ancient statue. The scene is illuminated by the soft, directional light of a candle, which casts shadows and highlights that accentuate the textures and forms within the composition. The use of light not only serves to create a realistic portrayal of the figures and objects but also to convey a sense of the time of day and the contemplative atmosphere of the setting.

The subject matter of the painting reflects the 17th-century Dutch interest in the art and culture of classical antiquity, a theme that was prevalent among artists and scholars of the period. By including an ancient statue in the composition, Schalcken connects the contemporary practice of art-making with the revered traditions of the past. The interaction between the artist and the model as they engage with the classical sculpture suggests a dialogue between the old and the new, highlighting the continuity of artistic endeavor across the ages.

"Artist and Model Looking at an Ancient Statue by Lamplight" is notable for its technical execution, thematic content, and the insight it provides into the artistic process and education during the Dutch Golden Age. The painting is a testament to Schalcken's ability to create narrative depth and emotional resonance through the interplay of light and shadow, making it a significant work within his oeuvre and an important piece for the study of 17th-century Dutch painting.
