New article name is Cangiante
Cangiante is one of the four canonical painting modes of the Renaissance (the other three being Unione, Chiaroscuro, and Sfumato).[1] It is characterized by the painter's changing to a lighter hue when the original hue cannot be made light enough or, conversely, changing to a darker hue when the original hue cannot be made dark enough. The painter may change, for example, from the color yellow to the color red (irregardless of the object's actual color)when painting shadows on a yellow object simply because the yellow he has to work with cannot be made dark enough to render shadows on that object (and the red can).
The word itself derives from the Italian 'cangiare' ('to change').
