Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Clare-obscurenoun
Light and shade in painting.
Etymology: from clarus, bright, and obscurus, Lat.
As masters in the clare-obscure,
With various light your eyes allure;
A flaming yellow here they spread,
Draw off in blue, or charge in red;
Yet from these colours, oddly mix’d,
Your sight upon the whole is fix’d. Matthew Prior.
