Just added this to put some references:

This is a nice glossary in English http://members.lycos.co.uk/pinkwall/VOCAB.html

Note his use of expression on people's faces and the pose of their bodies, his ability to tell a story in one scene, and his use of chiaroscuro ( light / dark ), harsh lighting and darkened shadows".
