Rembrandt lighting

In photography, chiaroscuro can be achieved with the use of "Rembrandt lighting".

The key in Rembrandt lighting is creating the triangle or diamond shape of light underneath the eye.

Rembrandt lighting is a lighting technique that is used in studio portrait photography.

Rembrandt lighting is characterized by an illuminated triangle under the eye of the subject on the less illuminated side of the face.

"For Rembrandt lighting," Goldwyn said, "they pay double."

"Tell them it's Rembrandt lighting," DeMille said.

After DeMille told him it was Rembrandt lighting, "Sam's reply was jubilant with relief: for Rembrandt lighting the exhibitors would pay double!"

But since the movie is a big-screen Sunday school story with sumptuous scenery, graceful crane shots and Rembrandt lighting - designed mainly to impart and then repeat wisdom about guilt, sin and redemption - this can't really be considered a flaw.
