Palette Analysis
Mid-key values give Bernardo Bellotto its characteristic quietness - nothing blazes, nothing disappears. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #645E37 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (6.6%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 61 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. In the context of Bernardo Bellotto's full range of palettes, group 1 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
