Galileo had also studied art including "chiaroscuro" techniques of light-dark contrast, seen in this sketch of the Moon's surface he made around 1609.

His realistic depiction was so influential it quickly started showing up in contemporary art, like this 1610 fresco by Cigoli.

la Resurrezione del Tintoretto [...] meno abile colorista del Tiziano ma lo superò nell'arditezza del concetto e nella potenza del disegno. Sommo maestro del chiaroscuro e dello scorcio audace, fu il vero Michelangelo della pittura veneziana

Been a while since I tried to draw Bernard, my melanistic bycorne character, so I'm messing around with CSP paintbrushes and chiaroscuro again.

"In Thomas Hart Benton paintings, as in his lithographs, there’s strong chiaroscuro, the play of light and dark. He used it to create a mood that’s present in his oils." https://t.co/njACqMraRE

"Virgin Of The Rocks" by Leonardo Da Vinci, 1483–1486. Oil on wood transferred to canvas, Louvre, Paris. A beautiful example of the usage of "chiaroscuro" or subtle play of light and dark shading makes this an ultimate favorite!

Something I've been playing with as stress relief in this perfectly horrific week... new phone-colored version of Pan. I don't know how to add light flares on the water with my phone though, which is necessary to make sense of the 2-light-sources chiaroscuro. A well, f*ck it.
