What Renaissance-era painting technique deliberately changes hue (rather than value) to depict highlights when pigment cannot be lightened easily?

Options:

Cangiante
Sfumato
Chiaroscuro
Tenebrism

Correct answer: Cangiante

Explanation: Cangiante is a technique of changing color to indicate light or shadow when tonal range is limited; Michelangelo used it on the Sistine Chapel ceiling painted c.1508–1512. The method shifts hue instead of mixing lighter tints.
