The Italian word chiaroscuro means “light and dark”, and refers to a technique in painting in which tone and depth are created by a dramatic use of contrast. Applied to woodcut, the term describes a color print created with different colored blocks, ranging from pale ink to black ink. Such woodcuts were developed in the early sixteenth-century by masters like Ugo da Carpi principally as a means of reproducing drawings, and flourished with virtuoso artists like Parmigianino and Hendrick Goltzius. In the eighteenth century, the technique returned to the reproduction of Old Master drawings and paintings, while leading the way to the development of illustrated wallpaper. This exhibition chronicles the history and reveals the beauty of the technique.
