Chiaroscuro, derived from the Italian words "chiaro" (light) and "scuro" (dark), is a prominent technique in art, particularly in painting and drawing. It involves the skillful use of strong contrasts between light and dark elements within a composition. These bold variations in light and shadow not only create visual drama but also play a crucial role in conveying depth, form, and a three-dimensional quality to the objects and figures depicted in the artwork.
In the world of art, chiaroscuro is often used to enhance the realism and sculptural quality of a subject. By strategically placing highlights and shadows, artists can give the illusion of volume, texture, and spatial relationships, making two-dimensional artworks appear more lifelike and tangible.
Chiaroscuro is a technique that has been employed by many renowned artists throughout history, with notable examples including the works of Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Leonardo da Vinci. Their masterful use of light and shadow not only brought their subjects to life but also added emotional depth and atmosphere to their creations.
This concept of chiaroscuro extends beyond the realm of visual arts and finds application in other forms of media as well. In cinema and photography, the manipulation of light and shadow to create dramatic effects and depth is also referred to as chiaroscuro. Filmmakers and photographers use this technique to evoke mood, highlight key elements, and enhance storytelling through the interplay of light and darkness.
Chiaroscuro is a fundamental artistic technique that harnesses the power of contrasting light and dark to achieve both visual impact and a sense of three-dimensionality. It remains a timeless and influential aspect of artistic expression, bridging the gap between traditional art forms and contemporary media like film and photography.
The Allegory of Fame is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard de Lairesse (1641-1711). Gerard de Lairesse was a renowned painter and art theorist in the 17th century, known for his contributions to Dutch Classicism.
The Allegory of Fame, also known as "Fama", is one of his notable works and depicts the allegorical figure of Fame. In Greek mythology, Fame, also known as Pheme, was the personification of fame and renown. In Roman mythology, she was called Fama.
The painting typically shows a female figure with outstretched wings, symbolizing the widespread reach of her influence and reputation. She is often portrayed with a trumpet or a horn, which she uses to announce the achievements and accomplishments of individuals to the world.
Fame was a popular subject in Renaissance and Baroque art, and artists often depicted her in various poses and contexts to convey different aspects of her influence and power.
In Gerard de Lairesse's version of the Allegory of Fame, he likely imbued the composition with his distinctive style, characterized by a grand and classical aesthetic. His paintings were influenced by classical antiquity, and he was particularly inspired by the works of Italian Renaissance artists, such as Raphael and Michelangelo.

The naval Battle of Leghorn took place on 4 March 1653 (14 March Gregorian calendar), [b] during the First Anglo-Dutch War, near Leghorn (Livorno), Italy. It was a victory of a Dutch squadron under Commodore Johan van Galen over an English squadron under Captain Henry Appleton. Afterwards, another English squadron under Captain Richard Badiley, which Appleton had been trying to join up with, reached the scene in time to observe the capture of the last ships of Appleton's squadron, but was outnumbered and forced to return to Porto Longone.
In 1652 the government of the Commonwealth of England, mistakenly believing that the United Provinces after their defeat at the Battle of the Kentish Knock would desist from bringing out fleets so late in the season, split their fleet between the Mediterranean and home waters. This division of forces led to a defeat at the Battle of Dungeness in December 1652, and by early 1653 the situation in the Mediterranean was critical too. Appleton's squadron of six ships (including four hired merchantmen) was trapped in Leghorn by a blockading Dutch fleet of 16 ships, while Richard Badiley's of eight (also including four hired merchantmen) was at Elba.
The only hope for the English was to combine their forces, but Appleton sailed too soon and engaged with the Dutch before Badiley could come up to help. Three of his ships were captured and two destroyed and only one (Mary), sailing faster than the Dutch ships, escaped to join Badiley. Badiley engaged the Dutch, but was heavily outnumbered and retreated.
The battle gave the Dutch command of the Mediterranean, placing the English trade with the Levant at their mercy, but Van Galen was mortally wounded, dying on 13 March.
One of the Dutch captains at the battle was son of Lieutenant-Admiral Maarten Tromp, Cornelis Tromp, who was to become a famous admiral himself.

Come mi succede ogni tanto, mi intrippo col realizzare
queste situazioni di "proiezione cerebrale".
Come scritto da un'amico tra i vari commenti,
desidero far abbracciare tecnica e poesia,
spero vi piaccia.

Very ancient small Buddhist statue brought back from China by my great grandfather. Only the head here is 3,5 cm .
The type of stone/rock is it seems typical for south-western China.
And I just found the name of the stone it’s carved from : pumice.
I reached John Chestnut Park in Oldsmar, Florida at around 7:00. Sunset is around 8:20, but for some reason, the light at 7 was just magical the way it hit the water and caused the colors and reflections to pop. Twenty minutes later, the great light and magic were gone.
The stark, hi-contrast B&W look for the image was created by using a crude filter: the glass of some cheap, non-prescription sunglasses I had lying around. I hand-held the sunglass lens in front of my Sigma 18-35 1.8, and played with the angle until the imagery took on an artsy monochrome look.
I tried getting in closer to the heron standing by the water's edge, but then she flitted away so I had only one shot to work with. But when I got home, the solitude of the heron and starkness of the sun reflecting on the water struck me as being a poignant composition the way it was.

These beautiful strong hands belong to a beautiful stranger I meet in a bar one night and we talked about life and the afterlife and everything in between, I told him I was a photographer and shared my Art with him, then I asked if I could take his picture, and a photo of his hands, it was an awesome experience.

This classic artwork has a Kentucky connection.
Artist: Matthew Harris Jouett (native Kentuckian and famous portrait artist, 1788-1827)
Title: "The Dead Christ Mourned" (1824)
Material: Oil on canvas (restored)
Venue: Speed Art Museum, University of Louisville, Kentucky
Matthew 27: 50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit…. 55 Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons. [Bible, New Testament]
Although the mother of Zebedee's sons isn't named, she seems to be traditionally clumped in as a Mary.
One ship already has sunk. Another ship has miraculously managed to hoist its sails just in time to skirt the rocks and escape mortal peril only to face being hit by another ship.
How did this multiple ship disaster happen?
