"Young Cantor with Candle" is a painting by the French Baroque artist 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 painting is a prime example of his work, showcasing a young cantor, or church singer, illuminated by the soft glow of a candle.

The artwork captures the intimate and contemplative moment of a young cantor, possibly engaged in nocturnal study or prayer, with the candlelight casting dramatic shadows and highlighting the youthful features of his face. The use of light not only enhances the spiritual and serene atmosphere but also demonstrates Bigot's mastery of rendering the effects of candlelight on the human form, a theme that recurs in several of his paintings.

While the exact date of creation is not definitively known, "Young Cantor with Candle" is often dated to the early 1620s, a period when Bigot was believed to be working in Rome and was influenced by the tenebrist style of Caravaggio and his followers. The painting's provenance and history of ownership may not be fully documented, but it stands as a significant work within Bigot's oeuvre, reflecting the broader artistic trends of the Counter-Reformation, which emphasized emotional piety and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow.

"Young Cantor with Candle" is held in high regard for its technical proficiency and its evocative portrayal of religious devotion. The painting is an important contribution to the genre of tenebrism and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Trophime Bigot within the canon of European art history.
