About the piece
Attributed to Trophime Bigot, known as 'The Candlelight Master,' this 1650 oil painting is a quintessential example of Caravaggesque chiaroscuro. The intense contrast between the deep shadows and the warm, glowing light on the boy's face and musical score creates a sense of intimacy and profound atmosphere.
