EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Woman with Candle" was painted by the talented artist Godfried Schalcken in the late 1660s. The print, now housed in the prestigious Pitti Palace Gallery in Florence, Italy, showcases a young woman illuminated by the soft glow of a candlestick she carries. In her thirties or twenties, this beautiful lady exudes an air of contentment and happiness. Her dreamy expression and pensive gaze suggest that she is lost in thought or perhaps enjoying a moment of quiet pleasure. The warm candlelight casts a radiant glow on her face, enhancing her already pleasing features. The vertical composition focuses on her head and shoulders, allowing us to fully appreciate every detail of this lighthearted and delighted subject. The artist's skillful use of color brings out the subtle nuances in her complexion while capturing the playfulness of baroque art. Schalcken's portrayal perfectly captures the essence of seventeenth-century portraiture during the Baroque era. His mastery over oil as an art medium is evident through his ability to create depth and texture within each brushstroke. As we admire this stunning artwork from Heritage Images' collection, we are reminded once again why Schalcken remains one of history's most celebrated painters. This print serves as both a visual delight and a testament to human beauty throughout time - truly gratifying for any art enthusiast or collector alike.
