Godefridus Schalcken (1643-1706) was born in Made, the Netherlands. In 1663, the 20 year-old Schalcken was apprenticed to study under Gerrit Dou (1613–75) in Leiden. Schalcken was among the most important representatives of a third generation of fijnschilders (fine painters) after Dou and Frans van Mieris (1635–81). Schalcken was the first fijnschilder from outside of Leiden. Responding to the shifting and more internationally oriented tastes of the upper class who were becoming tired of traditional subjects, he became famous for his kaarslichtjes, or pictures with figures in a nocturnal setting illuminated by artificial light. The artist’s rendering of artificial light was unsurpassed and this talent stood him in good stead when painting portraits: the diffuse candlelight allowed for a soft modeling of the face, giving the sitter an amiable and elegant impression.His paintings appear in the Getty Museum, the Musee de Louvre, The Hermitage, The Riksmuseum, The Uffizi Galleries, The Royal Collection, Buckingham Palace, The National Gallery, London,  The Prado, The Stadel Museum, Frankfurt, The Gemaeldegalerie, Berlin, The National Gallery, Prague,  The Royal Museum of Fine Art, Antwerp, The National Gallery, Ireland, The Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam, The Fitzwilliam Museum, The Wallace Collection, The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, National Museum, Cardiff, The National Galleries of Scotland, amongst others.
