Facts and Quotes:

Most Medieval paintings were two dimensional. This changed with the painting technique known as "chiaroscuro". The technique was developed during the 13th century by artists who used the intersection of light to show highlights, direct light and reflected light. They also used dark to show and cast shadows. When used together, these create the illusion of increased depth. The word "chiaroscuro" itself comes from the Italian "chiaro" which means light, and "oscuro" which means dark.
