Chiaroscuro, the technique of using strong contrasts between light and dark to create depth and volume, was crucial to Renaissance art as it enhanced the realism and three-dimensionality of figures. This method allowed artists to depict human emotions and natural forms more effectively, contributing to the overall lifelike quality of their work.
