"Gesellschaft bei Kerzenschein" (Society by Candlelight) is a painting attributed to the French Baroque painter Trophime Bigot, also known as the Master of the Candlelight. Bigot was active during the early 17th century and is renowned for his skillful use of chiaroscuro, the technique of using strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures. This technique is prominently featured in "Gesellschaft bei Kerzenschein," which is considered a prime example of Bigot's mastery of candlelit scenes.

The painting depicts a group of individuals gathered around a table illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight. The composition is notable for its intimate atmosphere and the way in which light plays across the faces and garments of the figures, creating a dramatic and evocative scene. The subjects are engaged in various activities, and the viewer is drawn into the moment by the intricate interplay of shadows and light.

While the exact date of creation is uncertain, "Gesellschaft bei Kerzenschein" is typically dated to the first half of the 17th century, a period when Bigot was known to be active in Italy, particularly in Rome, where he was influenced by the works of Caravaggio and his followers. The painting's style is consistent with the tenebrist movement, characterized by extreme contrasts of light and dark, which was popular among Caravaggio's followers.

The attribution of "Gesellschaft bei Kerzenschein" to Trophime Bigot has been a subject of scholarly debate, as with many works from this era. However, the painting's stylistic elements and thematic content align with Bigot's known body of work, supporting the attribution to this artist. The painting is an important piece within the oeuvre of Bigot and offers insight into the broader context of European Baroque painting, particularly in its exploration of light as a central element of composition.

Today, "Gesellschaft bei Kerzenschein" is appreciated for its artistic merit and contribution to the Baroque period's exploration of naturalistic lighting effects. It remains an important work for the study of 17th-century European art and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless portrayal of human interaction under the enchanting glow of candlelight.
