#Chiaroscuro
Chiaroscuro is a painting style that emerged from the late Renaissance, utilizing dramatic
contrasts of light and dark to accentuate the emotional
and psychological components of the subject. Both quiet meditation (such as
this painting, St. Paul at his Writing Desk, by Rembrandt) and tense confrontation
become emboldened by the interplay between bright, light colors and the deep darkness
of the background. Chiaroscuro was pioneered by artists like Boglione and Caravaggio, and
perfected by Rembrandt by the early seventeenth century.
