"An Angel Blowing a Trumpet" is a notable work by the Italian Baroque artist Mattia Preti (1613–1699). Preti, who was also known as Il Cavalier Calabrese, was a painter of the Neapolitan School and a follower of Caravaggio, renowned for his use of dramatic lighting and his skillful handling of religious subjects. This particular painting is an example of Preti's religious works, depicting an angelic figure in the act of blowing a trumpet, which is often associated with the Christian motif of the Last Judgment or the announcement of divine revelation.

The artwork is characterized by its dynamic composition, the angel's intense expression, and the masterful use of chiaroscuro—a technique that employs the stark contrast of light and shadow to achieve a sense of volume and drama. Preti's brushwork in "An Angel Blowing a Trumpet" exemplifies his mature style, where he combines the naturalism inherited from Caravaggio with a more energetic and expressive approach to form and color.

While the exact date of creation is not definitively known, the painting is generally dated to the mid-17th century, a period during which Preti was actively producing works for churches and private patrons in Italy and Malta. The painting's provenance, current location, and historical significance within Preti's oeuvre and Baroque art, in general, contribute to its importance as a subject of study for art historians and enthusiasts alike.

As a piece that reflects the religious fervor and artistic innovation of the Baroque period, "An Angel Blowing a Trumpet" remains an enduring testament to Mattia Preti's talent and his contribution to the canon of European art. The painting not only showcases Preti's individual style but also offers insight into the broader cultural and spiritual themes that pervaded the art of the 17th century.
