Man Cutting Up Tobacco, Another Smoking Behind" is a significant piece by Mattia Preti, a Baroque artist from Italy. Completed in the 17th century, this oil painting offers insight into the social of the time. The subject of the painting is vernacular in theme, underscoring an everyday facet of life during the artist's era. It captures the intimate and mundane scene of two adults engaging in their tobacco-related activities: one man meticulously chopping tobacco, and another in the background leisurely smoking.

Preti's manipulation of light engulfs the foreground's man, emphasizing the meticulous process of chopping tobacco, while the tranquillity of the scene is heightened by the man seen in the shadows, savoring his smoke. The painting illustrates not only the tangible task of cutting tobacco, but also aims to illustrate the underlying social view of tobacco use during the era - as an accepted, commonplace activity.

This artwork is typical of Preti's oeuvre - he often captured scenes of everyday life, occasionally infused with religious overtones and always executed with his unique sense of light and shadow. However, "A Man Cutting Up Tobacco, Another Smoking Behind" stands out for its focus on an everyday routine, void of grand narratives or epic figures, suggesting a more humanistic and down-to-earth perspective from the artist. As such, it provides valuable insight into both Preti's repertoire and everyday life in 17th century southern Italy.
