"Flicka Med Nattljusstake" (Girl with a Night Candle) is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Godfried Schalcken. Born in Made, near Dordrecht, in 1643, Schalcken was renowned for his mastery in capturing the interplay of light and shadow, a skill that is prominently showcased in this particular painting. The artwork depicts a young girl holding a candle, a common motif in Schalcken's oeuvre, which emphasizes the dramatic effects of candlelight on the human face and the surrounding environment.

Schalcken studied under the famous Dutch painter Samuel van Hoogstraten and later with Gerrit Dou in Leiden, where he honed his skill in fine detail, texture, and the nuanced use of light. "Flicka Med Nattljusstake" exemplifies Schalcken's fascination with nocturnal scenes illuminated by artificial light sources, a theme that resonated with the Dutch bourgeoisie's taste for intimate and meticulously detailed genre scenes.

The painting is celebrated for its technical brilliance, particularly Schalcken's ability to render the soft glow of candlelight and its reflections on the skin and eyes of the subject. This effect not only adds a sense of warmth and intimacy to the scene but also demonstrates the artist's advanced understanding of light physics and human anatomy. The artwork's composition and the use of chiaroscuro contribute to its serene yet captivating atmosphere, inviting viewers to ponder the moment's quietude and the subject's contemplative gaze.

"Flicka Med Nattljusstake" is a quintessential example of Schalcken's artistry and his contributions to the genre of candlelit scenes, which would influence later artists and continue to enchant viewers with its timeless beauty and technical prowess. The painting holds a place of significance in the study of Dutch Golden Age art, offering insights into the era's cultural and aesthetic values, as well as the technical innovations of its artists.
