EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas painting, titled "A Young Girl Shading a Candle" we are transported to a mesmerizing scene illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight. The Spanish artist Bartolome Esteban Murillo (1618-82) or one of his followers skillfully captures the essence of youth and innocence in this Baroque-style portrait. The young girl, her face delicately lit by the flickering flame, exudes an air of mystery as she shields the candle with her hand. Her dark surroundings create a stark contrast that enhances the chiaroscuro effect, adding depth and drama to the composition. As we gaze at this timeless masterpiece from a private collection, we cannot help but be drawn into its enchanting atmosphere. The warm glow emanating from the candle creates an intimate ambiance that invites us to contemplate both the beauty and transience of youth. This painting showcases Murillo's mastery in capturing human emotions and his adherence to Caravaggism - an artistic style influenced by Italian painter Caravaggio known for its dramatic lighting effects. Through careful brushstrokes and attention to detail, Murillo or his follower has immortalized a fleeting moment in time – forever preserving it within this exquisite work of art. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within your own personal collection, this print is sure to captivate viewers with its evocative portrayal of light against darkness and youthful innocence amidst an old world setting.
