Dramatic Contrast
There’s a technique used in art that creates a dramatic contrast between light and dark areas in a composition. This contrast is used to add depth, volume, and a sense of emotion to the artwork.
The technique originated during the Renaissance and was popularized by artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio. They used strong lighting to cast shadows and highlight specific areas of the artwork, which helped to create the illusion of three-dimensionality on a two-dimensional surface.
