Boy Lighting a Candle (Boy Blowing on an Ember) (1570-72) is a oil on canvas painting by the Spanish Renaissance painter, sculptor and architect El Greco. The instigator of this painting, representing a boy pursing his fleshy lips to blow on the ember in order to light the black wick of a candle, of which the wax is already melting on account of the heat, may have been Fulvio Orsini, the librarian of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese in whose palace El Greco resided between 1570 and 1572. The title 'Soplón' (Blower) was given in Jorge Manuel's inventory. The painting (60.5 x 50.5 cm) is in the collection of the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, Naples.
