Trompetblæsende engel, i baggrunden keruber is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a close-up of a person blowing a trumpet. Their face is lit from the side, leaving most of the background dark. The person’s hands grip the instrument, and their expression looks focused. In the blurry background, another figure peeks out, also holding a trumpet. The lighting here is dramatic—bright on the face, dark everywhere else. This style is called *chiaroscuro*, where strong contrasts create depth. Look up chiaroscuro to see more examples of this lighting trick.
