"Young Man with a Fiddle" is a 17th-century painting by Matthias Stom, also known as Matthias Stomer, who was a Dutch Golden Age painter renowned for his work in the Caravaggisti style, characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow. Stom, who was active in Italy and Northern Europe, is known for his genre scenes and religious subjects, often imbued with a tenebrist light effect, which he likely adopted from Caravaggio's influence during his time in Rome.

The painting depicts a young man holding a fiddle, a common subject in Dutch and Flemish genre painting that reflects the period's interest in music as a pastime. The subject is portrayed with a direct gaze that engages the viewer, and the use of chiaroscuro—a technique that contrasts light and dark—highlights the figure's features and the texture of his clothing, as well as the gleam of the fiddle. This technique creates a sense of depth and volume, lending the painting a strikingly realistic quality.

While the exact date of "Young Man with a Fiddle" is not definitively known, it is generally attributed to the period when Stom was most active, likely between the 1620s and 1650s. The painting is a fine example of Stom's skill in capturing the interplay of light and shadow and his ability to convey a sense of immediacy and intimacy in his depictions of everyday life.

"Young Man with a Fiddle" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of cultural and social themes of the 17th century, such as the role of music in society and the emerging genre of portraiture that included musical instruments as attributes of the sitter's identity or status. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied for its stylistic elements and contribution to the understanding of Northern Baroque art.
