Message: <blockquote data-quote="Josh's Frogs" data-source="post: 239837" data-attributes="member: 49228">The term Chiaroscuro is derived from the Italian, “chiaro", meaning clear, bright and, “oscuro", meaning 'dark, obscure'. In art the term has come to refer to the use of bold contrasts between light and shadow, particularly across an entire composition, where they are a prominent feature of the work. That’s the word that came to my mind when I saw the striking contrast of light and shadow in this picture of Big Betty who is a Rear Horned Baboon Tarantula (Ceratogyrus darlingi) who is part of the Breeding Team here at Josh’s Frogs. I think it makes her look very bold and dramatic!! [ATTACH=full]76625[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
