SF by Starlight: “The Chiaroscurist” by Hal Duncan in Logorrhea, edited by John Klima
“The Chiaroscurist” by Hal Duncan
Set during the crusades, this tale concerns the self-absorbed, first-person account of a chiaroscurist, as he takes nearly five years to paint the ceiling and walls of the antesanctum of the Monadery di Sanze Manitae. The centerpiece figure of the grand mural as backdrop to the altar is a gnomish figure, a hobben and friend to the unnamed plaster artist, who creates his Art in complicated plays of shadow and light.
