Chiaroscuro (Italian for light-dark) in art is contrast between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition, says Wikipedia.
It is also more technically used by artists and art historians for the use of effects representing contrasts of light, not necessarily strong, to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects such as the human body.
