"Christ Tended by an Angel" is a celebrated work of art by French painter Trophime Bigot, also known as the "Master of the Candlelight". Originating from the 17th century, this Baroque painting showcases Bigot's mastery in chiaroscuro and tenebrism, an artistic style that plays with contrast between light and dark.

The painting captures a poignant moment from the New Testament, specifically the narrative from Matthew 26:36-46. The scene Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, just after the Last Supper and before his arrest. Artistically, Bigot has captured Christ in his moment of agony wherein he prays to God to 'let this cup pass from me'. Bigot deliberately emphasizes the mournfulness and solitude of the scene, imbued with a unique sense of human emotion.

The eponymous angel, symbolic of comfort and divine intervention, is depicted invisibly tending to Christ. A candle held by the angel both illuminates Christ's figure and casted deep shadows. This serves to allegorically heighten the dramatic tension and spiritual turmoil of the scene.

Throughout the painting, Bigot showcases his exquisite mastery in rendering the intricate play of light and dark, an aspect which has become defining of his oeuvre and earned him the epithet, "Master of the Candlelight". This painting, like many of his others, showcases a deeply religious theme, reflective of Bigot’s own Catholic faith and the Counter-Reformation context of his time.

Often praised for its emotional depth and use of light, "Christ Tended by an Angel" remains a poignant piece in Trophime Bigot's repertoire and is a prime example of the Baroque period's religious and emotional expressiveness.
