Leonardo da Vinci did not create a painting titled "Medusa." The artwork often associated with that name is actually a piece by Caravaggio, titled "Medusa," painted in 1597. Leonardo, however, is known for his iconic works such as the "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper." If you meant a different artwork or context related to Medusa, please clarify!
One painting that exemplifies the use of light and shadow in a dramatic way is "The Calling of Saint Matthew" by Caravaggio. In this painting, Caravaggio uses strong contrasts of light and shadow to create a sense of drama and intensity, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures in the composition.

Caravaggio's "The Calling of Saint Matthew" employs the technique of chiaroscuro, which contrasts light and shadow to create a dramatic effect and emphasize the figures in the composition. The use of naturalistic lighting illuminates Matthew and draws attention to his moment of divine calling, enhancing the emotional intensity of the scene. Additionally, Caravaggio's realistic depiction of the characters contributes to the painting's overall sense of immediacy and engagement with the viewer.
