Nicolaes Visscher is strongly light-biased - shadow is suggested rather than declared. Warmth dominates - the palette of Nicolaes Visscher leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #9F7E4C, is reserved to 10.0% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The palette spans 39 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. Taken together, these qualities constitute Nicolaes Visscher's chromatic voice - distinctive enough to be read across an entire body of work.
