I know this is off-topic but I'm not moderating and
it's up to Melvin.

I'm looking for information about a painter known
for light/dark effects ...... probably Italian Baroque.
The only name I have is DeLay.

Please reply off-list if you are inclined to assist
an Old Antique Lady who Needs Lots of Help.

Thank you.

Probably Eugene Delacroix, though it could be Georges de La Tour.
Light/dark effects would be chiaroscuro or "clear-obscure," light and dark
used to achieve a dramatically heightened illusion of depth.
