Geertgen tot Sint Jans Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Values in Geertgen tot Sint Jans rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. A single dominant - #161917 at 26.6% - sets the character of the whole composition. #552A1A delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.1% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. 62 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. The mid-to-high key, cool bias, and moderate chroma point to outdoor observation - sky and diffused daylight as the dominant light source. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Geertgen tot Sint Jans's complete body of work advances.
