Yes. It's to do with light and shade
Caravaggio created drama in his paintings through the use of intense chiaroscuro, a technique that contrasts light and shadow to enhance the emotional impact of his subjects. His compositions often feature dynamic poses and expressions, capturing moments of tension and violence that evoke strong feelings. Additionally, he employed naturalism, depicting figures with raw humanity and vulnerability, which made the scenes more relatable and poignant. The combination of these elements resulted in a powerful sense of immediacy and drama in his work.

Light and dark tones are used in art in order to create contrast and depth. This effect is known as chiaroscuro, and it's necessary for creating a realistic piece. I mean, think about it: without contrasting light or dark shades, there would be no shadows or highlights in the picture and it would look flat.
Chiaroscuro is a monochrome picture made by using several different shades of the same color.
