Palette Analysis
Jan van Hemessen keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Yellow, ochre, sienna: warm hues that Jan van Hemessen deploys as the palette's primary energy. Every colour is desaturated; the palette proceeds through near-neutrals and gently-coloured greys. #201616 at 26.7% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. #592921 functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (8.1%). From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 69 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. In the context of Jan van Hemessen's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
