Document Summary

Tenebrism: from the italian, tenebroso (murky), 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. Mannerism: where high renaissance art emphasizes proportion, balance, and ideal beauty, mannerism exaggerates such qualities, often resulting in compositions that are asymmetrical or unnaturally elegant. Mannerism is notable for its intellectual sophistication as well as its artificial (as opposed to naturalistic) qualities. Mannerism favors compositional tension and instability rather than the balance and clarity of earlier renaissance painting. Mannerism in literature and music is notable for its highly florid style and intellectual sophistication. Loggia: a gallery or room with one or more open sides, especially one that forms part of a house and has one side open to the garden. Terribilit : an effect or expression of powerful will and immense angry force. Martyrium: architectural form centered around center element (tomb)
