Palette Analysis
Luca Giordano sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. The palette achieves thermal balance - reds and blues, ochres and greens, each holding the other in check. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #A05D34, is reserved to 1.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 61 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. This is palette 7 of Luca Giordano's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
