Caravaggio's "The Calling of Saint Matthew" employs the technique of chiaroscuro, which contrasts light and shadow to create a dramatic effect and emphasize the figures in the composition. The use of naturalistic lighting illuminates Matthew and draws attention to his moment of divine calling, enhancing the emotional intensity of the scene.
