Grisaille: painting technique by which an image is executed entirely in shades of gray and usually modeled to produce the illusion of sculpture or relief. 灰色单色画完全用灰色浓淡变化描绘形象,通常多突出立体感,以形成类似雕塑,特别是浮雕的视觉效果的绘画技法。
In the16th century grisaille enamels were developed in Limoges, France; the technique achieves a dramatic effect of light and shade and a pronounced sense of three-dimensionality. 16世纪时,纯灰色画珐琅艺术发展于法国利摩日,此技巧在光和影上达到戏剧性的效果和明显的三维空间立体感。
