Unione

According to the theory of the art historianMarcia B. Hall,which has gained considerable acceptance,unione(Italian:[uˈnjoːne]) is one of thecanonical painting modes of the Renaissance;that is, one of four modes of painting colours available to ItalianHigh Renaissancepainters,^[1]^[2]along withsfumato,chiaroscuroandcangiante.^[3]Unione was developed byRaphael,who exemplified it in theStanza della Segnatura.^[4]

Unione is similar to sfumato, but is more useful for the edges of chiaroscuro, where vibrant colors are involved. As with chiaroscuro,unioneconveys the contrasts, and as sfumato it strives for harmony and unity, but also for coloristic richness.^[5]Unione is softer than chiaroscuro in the search for the right tonal key. There should be the harmony between light and dark, without the excesses and accentuation of a chiaroscuro mode.^[6]
