Palette Analysis
François Lemoyne sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Warm hues command this palette; François Lemoyne favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #733735, is reserved to 3.3% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 62 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light. François Lemoyne arrived at this balance through long practice; the palette carries the weight of that experience.
