[Lexicog] Looking for a word

[Dr. Hayim Y. Sheynin]

In Russian it is 'sumerechnyi svet' which roughly coincides with 'twilight'.
In Hebrew 'beyn ha-`arbayim' which indicates the light before the evening.

I think Melissa Axelrod's reply is the right one: chiaroscuro.
In German it is Hell-Dunkel(Malerei), in French clair-obscur.
Representaive painters were: Leonardo da Vinci, Tizian, Caravaggio, Rembrandt.

How does "twilight" (German: Dämmerung) sound?
