Although the Early Renaissance painter Masaccio (1401-28) - see works like The Holy Trinity (1428) and The Tribute Money (1426) - as well as High Renaissance artists Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) and Raphael (1483-1520) are commonly considered to have pioneered the use of chiaroscuro to create the illusion of relief - notably in the modelling of the human body - the term is most often applied to works created during the Mannerism and Baroque eras, notably by Caravaggio (1571-1610) (and his Caravaggisti followers), and Rembrandt (1606-69).
