Showcase
This exhibit traces how chiaroscuro changed in European art, from a Renaissance technique for modelling soft flesh to a way of creating psychological tension. Drawing on major works from London, Paris and Amsterdam, it lets you zoom in on translucent fingers and candle flames to see how painters made light and dark do so much work.
How did painters make a flat surface look lit by candlelight? Zoom in on six paintings, including works by Leonardo, Rembrandt and Caravaggio, and pick the technique behind each detail. Every answer comes with a short explanation.
Explore the mythology of Dionysus (Bacchus), the ancient Greek god of wine, ritual madness, and theatre. This showcase exhibit brings together all 4 media types supported by Exhibit: 2D high-resolution imagery, interactive 3D models with camera orbits, high-definition video, and synchronized time-based audio.
