CHOARPSCURO TECHNIQUE:

-Chiaroscuro is the technique of creating strong contrasts between light and dark.

TENEBRISM TECHNIQUE:

-Tenebrism is a form of chiaroscuro in which the darkness dominates. The contrast between dark and light is severe and creates a spotlight effect.

PERSPECTIVE & FORESHORTENING TECHNIQUES:

-Use of these techniques can give a painting a three-dimensional effect that makes the viewer feel directly involved in the work.

Explanation:

religious theme: In the painting, Peter asks that his cross be turned upside down so that he won’t be executed in the same manner as Jesus Christ. He didn’t feel that he was worthy of the same fate.

chiaroscuro techniqueThe contrast between light and dark is prominent.

tenebrism technique: Peter appears as if he is in a spotlight, and the others are painted with a darker palette.

perspective and foreshortening techniques: The way that the subjects’ bodies are angled and arms are extended makes viewers feel as if they are present at the time of Peter’s crucifixion.
