Tenebrism is a style of painting in which light is used to focus attention on a single figure or particular figures in a composition, with the rest of the painting being in shadow and the background very dark. The contrast between the areas of light and dark tone add a sense of drama to the composition, and spotlights what the artist wants the viewer's attention to focus on.
