Origins and History
The Renaissance period was a time of great artistic innovation and creativity, with many of the most famous and influential portrait artists emerging during this time. One of the key techniques developed during the Renaissance was chiaroscuro, which involved the use of strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and dimensionality in the portrait.
