Listen to the unbelievably beautiful polyphonic singing by The Tallis Scholars of Palestrina's “Missa Papæ Marcelli”.
In addition, you will see the magnificent paintings by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571 - 1610).
This outstanding Painter made great use of the art of “Chiaroscuro”.
“Chiaroscuro”, in art, is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition.
It is also a technical term used by artists and art historians for the use of contrasts of light to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects and figures.[1] Similar effects in cinema, and black and white and low-key photography, are also called chiaroscuro.
