Jean Baptiste Vanmour keeps values measured and balanced, a hallmark of tonal restraint. Jean Baptiste Vanmour builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #A7745B delivers the chromatic peak at only 5.4% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 65 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of Jean Baptiste Vanmour's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
