sfumato1909

1847 Man. Oil-painting 126 Sfumato. Painted with a light, vapoury touch.

1869 C. L. Eastlake Materials Hist. Oil Painting II. 206 Another quality which was adopted from Leonardo..was the ‘sfumato’ system—the imperceptible softening of the transitions in half-tints and shadows.

1965 New Statesman 7 May 732/2 In all encounters with Leonardo there is never a definite answer to any of the artistic, aesthetic, historical or psychological questions which he raises. The sfumato—the suggestive smoke-like contour—is as much a characteristic of his personality as it is a feature of his drawing.
