"Academy. ""Chiaroscuro"" is Italian for “""light-dark""” in art and is characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. It is also a technical term used by artists and art historians for using contrasts of light to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects such as the human body. Chiaroscuro originated during the Renaissance as drawing on coloured paper, where the artist worked from this base tone towards light, with white gouache, and dark, with ink, bodycolour or watercolour. The French use of the term, ""clair-obscur"", was introduced in the seventeenth century."
"Chiaroscuro Chiaroscuro (; ; Italian for ""light-dark""), in art, is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. It is also a technical term used by artists and art historians for the use of contrasts of light to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects and figures. Similar effects in cinema and photography also are called chiaroscuro. Further specialized uses of the term include chiaroscuro woodcut for coloured woodcuts printed with different blocks, each using a different coloured ink; and chiaroscuro drawing for drawings on coloured paper in a dark"
"on traditions in illuminated manuscripts going back to late Roman Imperial manuscripts on purple-dyed vellum. Such works are called ""chiaroscuro drawings"", but may only be described in modern museum terminology by such formulae as ""pen on prepared paper, heightened with white bodycolour"". Chiaroscuro woodcuts began as imitations of this technique. When discussing Italian art, the term sometimes is used to mean painted images in monochrome or two colours, more generally known in English by the French equivalent, grisaille. The term broadened in meaning early on to cover all strong contrasts in illumination between light and dark areas in art, which"

""Chiaroscuro"" also is used in cinematography to indicate extreme low key and high-contrast lighting to create distinct areas of light and darkness in films, especially in black and white films. Classic examples are ""The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari"" (1920), ""Nosferatu"" (1922), ""Metropolis"" (1927) ""The Hunchback of Notre Dame"" (1939), ""The Devil and Daniel Webster"" (1941), and the black and white scenes in Andrei Tarkovsky's ""Stalker"" (1979). For example, in ""Metropolis"", chiaroscuro lighting is used to create contrast between light and dark mise-en-scene and figures. The effect of this is primarily"
"The term is less frequently used of art after the late nineteenth century, although the Expressionist and other modern movements make great use of the effect. Especially since the strong twentieth-century rise in the reputation of Caravaggio, in non-specialist use the term is mainly used for strong chiaroscuro effects such as his, or Rembrandt's. As the Tate puts it: ""Chiaroscuro is generally only remarked upon when it is a particularly prominent feature of the work, usually when the artist is using extreme contrasts of light and shade"". Photography and cinema also have adopted the term. For the history of the"

Some have argued that the concept of chiaroscuro was initially created in the 14th or 15th century. Early composers and theorists, such as Zaconni in 1592, described their preferred tonal sound in detail that mirrored the Italian chiaroscuro style. Their discussions of a bright ringing in a vocalist's chest voice are arguably the earliest depictions of the light and dark singing style. Many artists such as Giulio Caccini would reinforce Zacconi’s beliefs; in his ""Le nuove musiche"", Caccini described the"
"until the age of the Italian Renaissance when it was given a new name: chiaroscuro. Apollodorus' development of skiagraphia was only the beginning of this form of art's gradual development. In Italian, ""chiaro"" means light and ""scuro"" means dark. So the two together symbolize the combination and distribution of light and dark into one to create a more lifelike image.

Chiaroscuro was practiced long before he came on the scene, but it was Caravaggio who made the technique a dominant stylistic element, darkening the shadows and transfixing the subject in a blinding shaft of light. With this came the acute observation of physical and psychological reality that formed the ground both for his immense popularity and for his frequent problems with his religious commissions.

Chiaroscuro is the modelling of apparent surfaces within a picture by the suggestion of light and shadow. While tone was an important feature of paintings of the Medieval period, chiaroscuro was not.

After some early experiments in book-printing, the true chiaroscuro woodcut conceived for two blocks was probably first invented by Lucas Cranach the Elder in Germany in 1508 or 1509, though he backdated some of his first prints and added tone blocks to some prints first produced for monochrome printing, swiftly followed by Hans Burgkmair."

The addition of these two techniques to skiagraphia was instrumental in the evolution of chiaroscuro. Giotto, a Florentine painter, and Cimabue, Giotto's teacher, used chiaroscuro in their late Gothic painting as well, by mixing large amounts of white into the painting, therefore creating an easy transition between tones. In frescoes, mosaics, and manuscript illuminations, artists like Master Honore, a French manuscript painter, and Pietro, a painter and mosaic designer active in the Middle Ages, modelled from underneath with"
