Harald Jerichau Master Palette

Palette Analysis

Harald Jerichau sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Blues and teal-greys govern the palette, lending it an aquatic or atmospheric quality. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. #B7996A delivers the chromatic peak at only 10.0% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. The value range of 53 units sits in the comfortable middle: enough depth, enough light, neither extreme. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. Taken together, these qualities constitute Harald Jerichau's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
