	Chiaroscuro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		A certain amount of chiaroscuro is the effect of light modelling in painting, where three-dimensional volume is suggested by highlights and shadow, fully developed in 15th century painting in Italy and Flanders.
		Despite a frequent confusion, chiaroscuro technique in printmaking is different from German camaieu, in which the graphical effect is prevalent on the plastic effect (obtained with chiaroscuro to recall basrelief and painting "feeling"), and which more often uses coloured paper.
		In Photography, chiaroscuro is often interpreted with the use of Rembrandt lighting.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Leonardo da Vinci
		But the spoiled work formulated the whole language of chiaroscuro, and fixed its laws with a clearness which has never been surpassed.
		His influence on painting was supreme; it has been shown above what paths his genius opened to historical painting, to portraiture, to scenes of sanctity, landscapes, and the art of chiaroscuro.
		But this general action, profound as it was, did not give rise to a school at Florence.
