Chiaroscuro - the technique of using light and shade in pictorial representation.
• Rembrandt was impressed by the outstanding qualities of Caravaggio, especially the atmosphere of mysterious depth conveyed by chiaroscuro, the interplay of light and shadow.
• In only six months, he quickly seized the chiaroscuro device and, within a short time, began to use it with a skill no other artist has ever surpassed.
