Some fine art examples.
Chiaroscuro,

Michelangelo Caravaggio (1573 – 1610),
Georges de la Tour (1593 – 1652)
late 19th century painter,
Leon Spilliaert,
Wiliam Degouve de Nuncques, any another Belgian symbolist painter maybe?
Early twentieth century painter was Giorgio de Chirico, he makes shadows fall where he wishes them to in order to increase the tension and mystery
Fred Eerdekens, His installations of seemingly random objects become signifiers of concepts once they are lit from the right angle.

The first full length animated film “[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25SP4ftxklg"]The Adventures of Prince Achmed[/ame]” 1926 by Lotte Reiniger used shadows to their fullest.

Bessey and Combe’s short animation Peace Running takes extremely high contrast black and white CG imagery and uses it to tell a tale about shadows taking over the world.

His film [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap-v_Sk20Jg"]Commingled Containers[/ame] was made by fitting a glass ashtray to the end of his camera and pointing it at light creating objects, or holding it so that light travelled through it casting strange caustic patterns on the wall.
