Sfumato is a painting technique where colors and tones blend gradually into one another, creating soft transitions and a hazy, dream-like effect. This blurring effect gives the painting a sense of depth and atmosphere, as well as imbuing the figures with a sense of mystery and softness. The overall effect is one of subtle realism and a timeless quality, making the figures and scenes appear more ethereal and lifelike.
