Abstract
During analysis of the painting »A Woman Lighting a Candle«, attributed to Godfried Schalcken, donated to the Strossmayer Gallery by Ante Topić Mimara in 1967, an original signature was discovered leading to the conclusion that its real author is Johann Georg Trautmann (1713-1769). This painter worked in Frankufrt, painting in the manner of the late Dutch tradition. J. W. Goethe wrote Of him: »Trautmann created several wonderful, Rembrandt-like Resurrections from the New T estament . . . « There is mention of several of Trautmann's contemporaries, painters with the same tenebrist expression who skillfully applied the effects of artificial light (candles, open fire, lamp).
