Techniques

Heavy use of chiaroscuro to create striking depth and volume. (very loosely put, harsh light play)

Attention to exact, naturalistic detail

With the exception of the Dutch landscapes, a story is told, or a scene unfolds

Movement captured by circular or diagonal composition

Key words: dramatic, bold, movement, emotion, extravagance
Remember! Drama! Epicness! Intense lighting! EPICNESS!! Emotion!! Movement! EPICNESS!!!
Let's see these masterpieces!
Judging will be based on relevance to the style described, technical skill and creative vision.
