Your answer was: Tenebrism. | |||
Answer: Tenebrism, from Italian tenebroso ("dark, gloomy, mysterious"), also occasionally called dramatic illumination, is a style of painting, where there are violent contrasts of light and dark, and where darkness becomes a dominating feature of the image. Caravaggio's masterpiece Deposition utilizes this technique. The Vatican Post office an image of this painting in 2010 and issued a stamp to commemorate the "IV Centenary Of The Death Of Caravaggio". see also: • 2010 UFN Bulletin IV Century Of The Death Of Caravaggio • James C.
