<LI>Italian for "light-dark." The gradations of light and dark values in two-dimensional imagery; especially the illusion of rounded, three-dimensional form created through gradations of light and shade rather than line.

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">This seems to be the right group to ask about a word for something. A
friend of mine, a literary scholar, is writing a paper on Renaissance
art, and asked me if I knew a word for the contrast between light and
dark. I'm sure that there is something lexicalized in English (more likely
in German!) for this concept, but I can't surface it from my internal
thesaurus. Any suggestions?
