WHAT DOES TENEBROUSNESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tenebrousness

Tenebrism

Tenebrism, from the Italian, tenebroso, also called dramatic illumination, is a style of painting using very pronounced chiaroscuro, where there are violent contrasts of light and dark and where darkness becomes a dominating feature of the image. The technique was developed to add drama to an image through a spotlight effect, and was popular during the Baroque period of painting. The artist Caravaggio is generally credited with the invention of the style, although this technique was used much earlier by various artists, such as Albrecht Dürer, Tintoretto, and El Greco. The term is usually applied to artists from the seventeenth century onward, Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the few women artists of the Baroque and a follower of Caravaggio, was an outstanding exponent of tenebrism. El Greco painted three versions of a composition with a boy, a man, and a monkey grouped in darkness around a single flame. Among the most well-known tenebrist artists are: Italian and Dutch followers of Caravaggio, Francisco Ribalta, Jusepe de Ribera, and their Spanish followers. Tenebrism is most often applied to seventeenth-century Spanish painters.
