Original artwork description by the museum (© - Nationalmuseum Stockholm - Nationalmuseum Stockholm)

English: Matthias Stom was one of the many Dutch artists who travelled to Rome in the early 17th century. There they were strongly influenced by Caravaggio’s use of light and shadow. They often painted night scenes with figures rendered realistically in artificial light. Stom depicts a young man reading by candlelight. His concentration offers an image of contemporary concepts of diligence and virtue. The painting provided an aesthetic as well as a contemplation experience. Matthias Stom var en bland många holländska konstnärer som for till Rom i början på 1600-talet. Där tog de starka intryck av Caravaggios ljusdunkelmåleri. De skildrade gärna nattscener där realistiskt avbildade figurer modelleras fram med hjälp av artificiella ljuskällor. Stoms målning visar en ung man som läser i skenet från ett vaxljus. Hans koncentration ger en bild av dåtidens idéer om flit och dygd. Målningen var avsedd att ge såväl en skönhetsupplevelse som ett tillfälle till begrundan.
