"Man with a Candle" is a notable work by the Dutch painter Godfried Schalcken, who was renowned for his mastery in the use of light and shadow. This painting, created in the late 17th century, exemplifies Schalcken's skill in chiaroscuro and his focus on intimate, domestic scenes illuminated by artificial light sources, such as candles. The artwork depicts a young man holding a candle, the light of which dramatically casts shadows and highlights on his face and the surrounding environment, creating a sense of depth and realism.

Schalcken, a student of Gerrit Dou, was influenced by the Leiden school of painting and often incorporated the tenebrist style, which emphasizes the contrast between light and dark. "Man with a Candle" is a prime example of this technique, showcasing Schalcken's ability to manipulate light to enhance the narrative and emotional impact of the scene. The painting not only reflects the technical skills of Schalcken but also provides insight into the cultural and social settings of the time, as candlelit scenes were a popular subject in Dutch genre painting.

This work is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its contribution to the genre of nocturnal scenes in Dutch painting, offering viewers a glimpse into the quiet, personal moments of everyday life during the period.
