Chiaroscuro (English pronunciation: /kiˌɑ"rəˈskjʊəroʊ/, Italian: [kjarosˈku"ro] "light-dark") in art is characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. It is also a technical term used by artists and art historians for using contrasts of light to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects such as the human body.
Further specialized uses include chiaroscuro woodcut, for colored woodcuts printed with different blocks, each using a different colored ink; and chiaroscuro drawing for drawings on colored paper with drawing in a dark medium and white highlighting. Similar effects in the lighting of cinema and photography are also chiaroscuro.
