Palette Analysis
Values in history painting rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. The most saturated colour, #9E7E54, is reserved to 5.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 62 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively.
