In Italian, chiaro- means light, and scuro-means dark. In art, chiaroscuro refers to the use of light and shadow to create a gradation, or a gradual transition from lightness to darkness. This noir effect emphasizes human emotion because of the drama effects produced by the images. This drama is a direct result of the contrasts created between light and dark found in paintings or photographs.

The word chiaroscuro is Italian for light and shadow. It's one of the classic techniques used in the works of artists like Rembrandt, da Vinci, and Caravaggio. It refers to the use of light and shadow to create the illusion of light from a specific source shining on the figures and objects in the painting.
