Il Sodoma works almost entirely in the lower half of the value scale, privileging depth over brilliance. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #171511 claims 45.8% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. The highest-chroma note - #D29A56 - appears at just 1.1%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The palette spans 53 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. This tonal restraint is characteristic of the Il Sodoma approach: colour serves light, not the reverse. Palette 8 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Il Sodoma's complete body of work advances.
