👉 Durerresque is a French phrase that refers to a style of painting that emphasizes the use of reflective surfaces and the use of light in order to create an atmosphere of mystery, contemplation, or introspection. This style is characterized by its use of shadows, chiaroscuro (sharpness and darkness), and the influence of the natural world on the work, such as clouds, trees, and flowers. The term "dureresque" was coined in the late 18th
