"Two Scholars By Candlelight" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Godfried Schalcken (1643–1706), renowned for his mastery in capturing the effects of light and shadow. This painting, dating from the late 17th century, exemplifies Schalcken's skill in chiaroscuro and his penchant for genre scenes imbued with a sense of intimacy and quietude.

The artwork depicts two scholars engrossed in their studies, illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight. The use of light not only highlights the concentration and features of the figures but also creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that draws the viewer into the scene. Schalcken's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the textures of the scholars' robes, the flicker of the candle flame, and the reflective surfaces within the composition.

"Two Scholars By Candlelight" is a testament to Schalcken's ability to combine technical prowess with a narrative quality, as the painting tells a story of intellectual pursuit and the quest for knowledge. The work is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its contribution to the genre of candlelit scenes, which Schalcken helped to popularize during his career.

As a representative of Schalcken's oeuvre, "Two Scholars By Candlelight" continues to be studied and admired for its artistry and its place within the context of Dutch Golden Age painting. It remains an important piece for understanding the evolution of nocturnal scenes in European art and the enduring appeal of the genre painting tradition.
