Palette Analysis
Jan Mankes is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Warm and cool are kept in productive tension, creating the kind of chromatic harmony that sustains the eye. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 5.0% is devoted to #4E2617, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 59 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This is palette 2 of Jan Mankes's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
