Chiaroscuro Woodcut

a kind of color woodcut. Chiaroscuro woodcuts are produced from several blocks of woods to which closely related tones of color have been applied. The picture, created primarily by gradations of light and shade, consists of generalized forms endowed with a feeling of three-dimensionality. Chiaroscuros were invented in the 16th century (Ugo da Carpi and A. Andreani in Italy; H. Baldung in Germany).
