Its not actually lighting, it's just a shading effect.

Chiaroscuro results in a shading effect.
>>20746571
In English we call it shadowing for 2d. In 3d or camerawork it is called lighting effect.

I think it's gimmicky and makes them look like static mannequins in a display case. It's the 19th-century equivalent of a tech demo: 'What about cliche genre painting... but the light's from below!' There are much better examples.

more fascinating is the fact that in this image the frieze relief is painted. does this mean that in 1868 it was common knowledge that greeks painted their statuary?

alma-tadema was well educated in history and history of art, maybe it was known in the history wing, but definitely not common knowledge

The light in de Lempicka's paintings doesn't look like the light on Earth, it's like something from an alternate reality or alternate future.

the main goal of impressionism is capturing light effects, the painting op posted is a colored drawing.
