The use of dark lighting and colour casting powerfully displays him this way. The expression on Krupp’s face and the position his hands are in is almost stereotypical of a villain. The way he his also elevated and revealed in the foreground also emphases the idea of Krupp being the devil and shows that he was of high authority and powerful; just as the devil is. Newman also built up and used a range of techniques to clearly show the background and the history/intentions that Krupp had.
