Lovis Corinth Palette 10

Palette Analysis

The palette of Lovis Corinth sits in the lower register of the value scale - dense, contained, and weighted. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. #12100C claims 25.6% of the surface, functioning as the work's tonal foundation. Only 6.9% is devoted to #855D2F, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. 62 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. This tonal restraint is characteristic of the Lovis Corinth approach: colour serves light, not the reverse. Palette 10 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Lovis Corinth's complete body of work advances.
