"A Young Boy Reading a Book" is a notable painting by the Italian artist Giuseppe Maria Crespi, also known as Lo Spagnuolo (1665–1747). Crespi, who was active during the late Baroque period, is renowned for his dynamic compositions and skillful use of chiaroscuro. This particular work is a fine example of his genre paintings, which often depicted everyday scenes with a sense of intimacy and emotional depth.

The painting portrays a young boy engrossed in reading a book, with the soft, ambient light highlighting the pages and casting gentle shadows on his face. The subject's absorption in his reading, along with the use of light and shadow, creates a contemplative atmosphere that invites viewers to reflect on the act of reading and the pursuit of knowledge. Crespi's attention to detail and the textural quality of his brushwork lend a tactile realism to the artwork.

While the exact date of creation is not definitively known, "A Young Boy Reading a Book" is generally attributed to Crespi's mature period, when he had fully developed his distinctive style that combined naturalism with a sense of immediacy and psychological insight. The painting is significant for its contribution to the genre of domestic scenes in Italian art and for its representation of literacy and education during the Baroque era.

The work is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as an example of Crespi's mastery in capturing the nuances of everyday life. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as a window into the cultural practices of the time. "A Young Boy Reading a Book" remains an important piece within Crespi's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of genre painting in the context of 17th and 18th-century Italian art.
