• (possible used by Van Meer and view painting) its simplest form it consisted of a darkened room or box with a small hole through one wall. Light rays could pass through the hole to transmit an inverted image of the scene outside the room onto a flat surface on its inside (which could be traced by the artist).

• Usually seen in sculpture- devised by the Greeks, rediscovered and copied by the sculptors in the Early Renaissance. the weight of the on one leg, the shoulders and the hips counterbalanced each other in a natural way so the figure does not fall over.

• Effective and dramatic use of light and shade in order to create volume and depth . Used by Leonardo da Vinci

• a method of drawing or painting an object or person that is not parallel to the picture plane so that it seems to recede in space, giving the illusion of three dimensions. Parts get smaller as the go back in space

• A method of painting on plaster, either dry or wet .

• colour and movement emphasized by rapid and powerful brush strokes, textures surface quality

• The technique of blurring or softening sharp outlines by gradual of one tone into another. It creates a smokelike haziness.

• a style of painting characterized by high contrast between light and shade -- emphasis placed on chiaroscuro to achieve dark, dramatic effects. Frequently the main subjects of tenebrist pictures are illuminated by a single source of light, as if a spotlight shone upon them, leaving other areas in darkness.

Printing terms:

• Intaglio prints are categorized as having the image produced from below the surface. A print is made by inking the incised lines and recessed texture of a plate, wiping the surface, placing damp paper over the plate, and running it through am etching press.

• is the simplest and most direct of the intaglio process. The technique consists of scratching into the surface of a lexan plate using a strong, sharp point. The point is used to score the surface, which causes a ridge of lexan-called a burr, to be thrown up on one or both sides of the line. This burr holds more ink than the relatively shallow scratches and contributes a velvety, rich quality to the impression.

• Burr- see definition above

• only the surface of the plate is inked and printed.

Romanticism• An art movement and style that flourished in the early nineteenth

century. • It emphasized the emotions painted in a bold, dramatic manner.• Romantic artists rejected the cool academic reasoning of classicism

-- the established art of the times -- to paint pictures of nature in its untamed state, or other exotic settings filled with dramatic action, often with an emphasis on the past.

• Name based on a revival of interest in medieval stories known as ‘romances’-stories involving fictional hero’s and great adventures of individual heroism and emotion.

• Classicism was nostalgic too, but Romantics were more emotional, usually melancholic, even melodramatically tragic.
