'''''The Lute Player''''' or '''''Singing Man with Lute''''' is a 1622 oil-on-canvas painting by [[Dirck van Baburen]]. Since 1955 it has been in the [[Centraal Museum]] in [[Utrecht (city)|Utrecht]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.centraalmuseum.nl/nl/collectie/11481-de-luitspeler-dirck-van-baburen |title=Catalogue entry|language=nl}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://rkd.nl/explore/images/20223  |title=Article on the work|publisher=Nederlands instituut voor kunstgeschiedenis |language=nl}}</ref>
Having encountered [[Caravaggio]]'s style in Rome, van Baburen popularised it back in the [[Dutch Republic]], particularly images of single musicians such as this one, drawing on the Italian artist's ''The Lute Player'' and setting a trend which also resulted in [[Frans Hals]]'s ''[[The Lute Player (Hals)|The Lute Player]]'' of 1623.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/u/0/asset/the-lute-player/zgGkaVAGk9q5mA?hl=en |title=Google Cultural Institute|language=nl}}{{dead link|date=June 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>
