"The Night Market" is a painting by Petrus van Schendel (1806–1870), a Dutch-Belgian painter known for his mastery in depicting nocturnal scenes using artificial light sources. Van Schendel was particularly fascinated with the effects of candlelight and its interplay with darkness, which became a hallmark of his work. This fascination earned him the nickname "Monsieur Chandelle."

"The Night Market" exemplifies Van Schendel's skill in chiaroscuro and his ability to capture the bustling atmosphere of a market scene under the glow of lamplight. The painting portrays vendors and shoppers engaged in the nocturnal commerce that was common in 19th-century European cities. The artwork is rich in detail, with each figure and object carefully illuminated to stand out against the enveloping night.

Van Schendel's work often depicted markets, fairs, and street scenes, and "The Night Market" is a quintessential representation of these themes. The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also as a historical record of urban life in the era before electric lighting. The precise date of creation for "The Night Market" is not well-documented, but it falls within Van Schendel's most productive period when he was living in Brussels and later in Rotterdam, where he painted many of his nocturnal scenes.

"The Night Market" is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of light and shadow. It continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and scholars for its contribution to the genre of night-time painting and its insight into 19th-century European society. The painting is a testament to Van Schendel's unique talent and his enduring legacy in the Romantic tradition of European art.
