Low key oil painting

Low key as a term used in describing paintingsorphotographs is related to but not the same as low-key lightingincinemaorphotography.[1] A photographic image, painting or movie can be defined as "low-key" if its dominant values are black, dark brown or dark blue.[2][3]

Some authors describe the term "low key" as the so-called Rembrandian light[4] while others describe how to obtain such photographs or paintings.[5]
