Whats the difference between Tenebrism and Chiaroscuro?
Hi, tenebrism is a form of chiaroscuro, which is as you know, is a term used to describe paintings whose effect depends on the use of contrasts between light and dark. Tenebrism is an emphatic use of this, the contrast between light and dark, to create effects of dramatic naturalism. That’s the best I can do, both the same but tenebrism more pronounced and concerned with naturalism.
