Caravaggism
Nota de aplicación
Style of painting that flourished in Italy and northern Europe for three decades after the death of Michelangelo Caravaggio (1571-1610). The style was strongly influenced by Caravaggio’s use of everyday, common or lower class scenes and figures; the style employed the lighting effects of tenebrism (figures and objects in a dark background, with some details picked out as strongly lit from a single light source).
