Tenebrism

Tenebrism is a technique characterized by the extreme contrasting of light and dark, hence the other term used to describe it: dramatic illumination. Tenebrism comes from the Italian term ‘tenebroso’, meaning “dark.” It is similar to the technique chiaroscuro, however it is much more exaggerated. While chiaroscuro provides dimension to a subject, the goal of tenebrism is to dramatize the atmosphere of the scene. With this, shadows and darkness tend to govern large amounts of the image. Subject matter, such as figures, gain importance as they are highlighted.
