http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenebrism
Tenebrism, from the Italian tenebroso (”murky”), (also called dramatic illumination) is a style of painting using violent contrasts of light and dark. A heightened form of chiaroscuro, it creates the look of figures emerging from the dark. The term is less used by art historians in recent decades, and lacks a clear definition; it is most often applied to Spanish painters, especially of the 17th century, when it is capitalised by some art historians, and not by others.
