October,

This is a difficult question for me. I have done paintings that were back lit and I have taken many back lit photographs. If you mean that you would like some historical references I think I might defer to others.

If you are thinking in terms of photography, one factor that would remain consistent through this theme would be the necessity to use the spot meter feature on your camera. Failure to do so will cause an effect like the one shown below. The camera will evaluate the high intensity background of the scene and render your foreground subject as objects in silhouette.
