"Suonatore di Liuto" (Lute Player) is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist Jan van Bijlert, who was active during the Dutch Golden Age. Van Bijlert, born in Utrecht in 1597 or 1598, was a contemporary of other Utrecht Caravaggisti, such as Gerrit van Honthorst and Hendrick ter Brugghen, who were known for their chiaroscuro technique and dramatic use of light and shadow, influenced by the Italian master Caravaggio.

The painting depicts a young man absorbed in playing the lute, an instrument commonly featured in genre paintings and musical-themed artworks of the period. The lute player is typically shown as a half-length figure, set against a dark background that enhances the luminosity of his skin and the intricate details of his attire. The subject's focused expression and the intimate portrayal of the musical performance reflect the Baroque era's fascination with realism, emotion, and the senses.

Jan van Bijlert's "Suonatore di Liuto" is notable for its fine execution, the play of light across the figure and instrument, and the moment of quiet concentration it captures. The artwork exemplifies van Bijlert's skill in rendering textures and his ability to convey a sense of immediacy and presence, inviting viewers to share in the private world of the musician.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, it is generally attributed to van Bijlert's mature period, when he had fully developed his style after returning from his studies in Rome. "Suonatore di Liuto" is considered an important work within van Bijlert's oeuvre, contributing to our understanding of the cultural and artistic milieu of Utrecht in the early 17th century.

The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in art museums that showcase Dutch Golden Age paintings. Its provenance, exhibitions, and literature provide insights into the historical significance and reception of Jan van Bijlert's work over time. "Suonatore di Liuto" continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as an example of the Northern European interpretation of Caravaggesque influences.
