In nature, the sunlight keeps living things alive and gives us vitamin D. It is safe to say light is of great importance in our lives and probably because it is so essential in our world this is seen represented in both  Art and photography. A light source in a painting or photograph&nbsp;impacts everything including the character, separation, colours, textures, mood and the story of the image. It\u2019s a key factor in making a painting or pictures a success. We take a look at three great exhibitions that step <em>Into the light <\/em>with the work on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">To this day artists and photographers have used the development of light technics in their projects, but also drawn ideas from old technics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Such as chiaroscuro, which literally means in Italian&nbsp;chiaro, \u201clight,\u201d and&nbsp;scuro, \u201cdark\u201d. It is the technique employed in visual arts to represent light and shadow as they define three-dimensional objects, within an image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Rebmrandt-into-the-light-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"711\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Rebmrandt-into-the-light-1.jpg?resize=580%2C711&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-128208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Rebmrandt-into-the-light-1.jpg?resize=835%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 835w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Rebmrandt-into-the-light-1.jpg?resize=245%2C300&amp;ssl=1 245w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Rebmrandt-into-the-light-1.jpg?resize=768%2C942&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Rebmrandt-into-the-light-1.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Self-portrait, Rembrandt van Rijn, ca. 1628, collection Rijksmuseum, The Netherlands <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">This technic dates out of the renaissance and was mainly used by the artist Masaccio, but later on, a few painters became masters of this technic such as Caravaggio, Rembrandt and Rubens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Many of these artists&#8217; most famous paintings were very dark-toned, with areas of highlighted sections as a contrast.
