Palette Analysis
The value structure of Martin Schongauer is mid-key: quiet, controlled, and cohesive. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The chromatic peak belongs to #CDBF9F, and at 18.9% it dominates, not decorates. At 68 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky. This is palette 2 of Martin Schongauer's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
